Will swimming endurance translate to running endurance?

Question

So I've been doing a lot of swimming over summer to keep in shape for football. I just realized that this could be completely dumb, my question is does swimming fitness and endurance translate to running fitness and endurance?

Answer 1

Absolutely.  Swimming is a great way to build up endurance for any sport.  Good luck in football.

Answer 2

Swimming is one of the best excercises and doesn't have the jarring of joints that occurs when running. It can do nothing but help.
