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?

For me it was swimming that started melting off the pounds. Every day this year I've walked or ridden my bike to work and as the year progressed I rode my bike more and and more each week. I lost nothing. Since I started swimming again I dropped around 20 pounds, fast. I think it's definitely important to cross train and I still do a lot of biking, but it was the swimming that actually triggered some weight loss for me.
