Swimming without other exercise?

If I only swim but don't do any other exercises, what will I be missing? Not much, I suppose? I can still have a good physique and it sure does more to my health than if running is my only exercise? Comments?

  • swimming alone didn't do it for me. but once I started biking 30-40 minutes a day, I got that little extra I needed to start losing weight. swimming is like any other exercise. after awhile your body will get use to the activity and adapt. when I was rowing, I had to row longer and longer to get the same effect. to the point that I had to row 7500m or 30 minutes, wher I started at just 10 minutes.
