Which Is Harder Cross Country Or Swimming??

Question

Me and my friend have been arguing for months and idk which is harder i think running is beacuse of the strain on your bones but idk

Answer 1

swiiming is because density of the water is heavier

Answer 2

Running puts more strain on the skeleton, that's why swimming is considered a "low impact exercise".

But if you can't swim then you drown, which is also pretty hard on you.

Tough call.

Answer 3

i think they are both equally hard in different ways.

Answer 4

cross country is harder. when you run you pund yourself against the ground as opposed to gliding through the calm water. besides, do swimmers ever get hurt in pools?
