No, but running in the rain will make you a happier runner.

Well, if you have to swim, at least there is no chlorine in this water. You won't dry out your hair...  (god help me I am evil today).

PH - I don't mind running in the rain, however I hate squishy socks and
heavy shoes.
SC - I don't have any rainboots. wouldn't they be a bit awkward to run in?
Kristin - my hair is already a frizzy mess because of this weather  , but at least there is no chlorine to ruin the dye job.

Yeah, I think running in the rain is OK, sometimes. But if you have to do it more than once or twice a week, it gets a little ridiculous. And imagine putting on those wet, soaking running shoes on the day after? Gross..

I saw people run on highly unusual places. So I guess little water cannot do any harm.

I'd really like to know what those unusual places are. But maybe you didn't say it for a reason. Who knows? LOL

The Question was "swimming may improve running" ???
YES, up to certain Point.
1.- Swimming will improve your cario capability A LOT.
2.- BAD NEW: For Runner only, happens that the runnung muscles are tought, hard , ( not relaxed), Swimmer muscles work more relaxed.
SO IF YOU are thinking in TRIATHLON.. the answer is YES, SURE
