It is a hopeless question i know. I am just wondering how popular is swimming among all amateur sports or exercises? Obviously there are more runners than swimmers, but like what percentage of people take swim as the main regular exercise or sport, among all who do exercises? Would 1% sound close?

I swim and run, I enjoy both about the same and they are very similar mentally for me. Swimming is much better on my joints so I prefer it at the moment. for me it's about fitness, I'm not part of any team so I don't consider what I do sport ... but I enjoy it. the only sport I do are aquatlons and open water swims in the summer seasons, but Just for fun. I'd say running is much more accessible for most people, I hate the gym, but I'm lucky to have a great local pool nearby ... if i didn't have such a great place to go then I probably wouldn't swim, or at least not as much.
