swimming vs running - i dont get it.

Stirlo, you're kicking too hard. Don't kick so hard and you'll last a lot longer. Body has a flotation point where it naturally floats, arms do a lot of the propelling and movement. Biggest mistake most people make is to splash hard with their legs thinking this will push them through the water faster, it won't. Technique is vital in swimming. It's like a lot of things, when you see someone experienced do it, it looks simple, when you try, you can't do it, yet instinctively you think you should be able to do it. Lessons and a lot of practice will undo bad learned habits, but it all takes away from other things eg woodwork......

Water polo is IMO the hardest sport on the face of the planet.

I used to do mountain running, long distance walking (100+km)and cycling. I did also do some competitive swimming but only 100 and 200 mtr events, thought I was pretty fit but obviously have dropped down a level or two (or more) with age. I recently visited my daughter who is a marine biologist and videographer, she swims some six hours per day, she took me swimming with manta rays and whale sharks - I suddenly realised what it means to be over 60.

I reckon though, as everyone else say that you just need to train and depending on how serious you are depends on the level of training.
