Any Swimmers here? Shin Splints SUCK!

[crayonofdoom]

anyone here have experience with swimming for cardio? I just got shin splints and I've decided to stop all running for a week and see how it goes next week, but also, i wanted to get into swimming anyways so I might as well ask: what is a good swim routine for cardio? How long does shin splints take to go away? my P.E. teach said about a week and i can get back to running....

Ah!!!! I just got over some shin splints heh. Going to martial arts sucked, and Playing basketball was pretty bad too. Like jollyrogers said though, just ride a bike
