Reason # 759 I don't swim

When you run, you put on your running shoes at home at the same time you put on your shorts and shirt, and you're good to go. (maybe a cap or sun glasses) 
When you swim, you have to account for up to an extra 30 minutes when you get where you're going swim, to:
Laborously put on the wetsuit
Make sure you bring along hand paddle thingies
Make sure you bring along your flippers
Make sure you bring your foam thing you stick between your thighs
Make sure you bring the foam mini boogie board thing
Make sure you don't forget your hair protection cap thing
Bring a towel
Bring a whole different change of clothes than what you wore on your way down there
Bring Goggles
Bring spare goggles incase the first pair breaks
Bring your phone so you can call in to work and tell them all the pre and post stuff is going to make your 30 minutes swim turn into a 2 hours event.

You are correct, sir.

Or walk across the street with a towel and take a nap at Barton Springs, which is what I call swimming.

Making the margaritas to go can be laborious, though.
