I am on the swim team and am a top swimmer but im trying out for the cross country team. Will I be using different muscles that can hurt my swimming?

Swimming is actually great cross-training for runners! Both sports are high cardio and low body-fat oriented so that's a plus. Running is more high impact but that won't affect you when you swim. Running will cause an increase in muscle mass but not to any extent that you should worry.
If you add cycling to your activities you could be a triathlete!!!
Good luck ( =

No running shouldn't affect your swimming but swimming can help your running! Swimming is the best sport for your joint and your muscles and having a nice swim can help ease your joints after a run.

working is extra perplexing on your physique, there is extra slamming of your joints, plus your physique remains cooler collectively as swimming via water. collectively as working it is likewise much less annoying to push your self, like sprinting. it incredibly is complicated to sprint collectively as swimming for my section, via fact i'm no longer a swimmer and that i'm needless to say no longer knowledgeable. It additionally sounds such as you're transforming into extra from working, as to push your self for the duration of the water you could desire to exert extra power. it incredibly is the reason you burn extra energy. Swimming is smoother, and extra beneficial on your joints, yet for my section, working is a lot extra relaxing, as you could run everywhere, and you experience a lot extra beneficial and performed afterwards, on the grounds which you experience such as you traveled an prolonged distance. with the help of the variety you do sweat collectively as swimming, you in basic terms do no longer observe it. Swimmers in many circumstances get dehydrated via fact they think of that they do no longer would desire to drink a lot.
