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?

I can say that swimming has done it for me...40lbs GONE! Of course that was with me adding intensity and duration over the course of a few months...now I am starting to do interval training three days a week which adds in the variation to keep my body guessing as they are different every time. I have about 15 lbs to go for my goal...and I would like to go down another 10 after that and I plan to do it all in the pool. My biggest issue is that I have had knee surgery for miniscus and I still have a partially torn ACL...so running makes me nervous.
