what do you think is a harder sport swimming or running?

like do you think it is harder to be on the swim team or the cross country team/track team?

it depends on what you're better at. For me, I like swimming better than running because you're less susceptible to heat, dust, etc., which really affects me because I have hay fever.

Running, it takes a lot of practice to be good. Endurance counts for a lot in running.

All the runners will say running, all the swimmers will say swimming. My swimmer friend and I had this discussion a few days ago. I've been swimming competitively my whole life and picked up running a while ago, so I know both.

Swimming is far harder. Running distance is far from easy, but swimming is definitely harder.

swimming, wears you down much faster because of using entire body, and altered pace of breath.

swimming, you have to hold your breath.
