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?

LOL, Leonard, you are as witty as ever!
Great thread everyone. I was diagnosed with RA in my mid forties. I have been a swimmer since childhood, thank goodness! I knew exactly what I needed to do when I got the diagnosis. Swimming has helped me tremendously. I can certainly tell it when I have to miss a day or two. I think it does help with weight maintainance even if you don't do a lot of weight bearing exercise.
