i can't take up running as it puts mein pain due to my knee, so I was looking at carrying on swimming but more frequently! I usually cycle around 100-150 miles a week averaging around 17-18mph on my mtb with slicks so my question is howmuch swimming do I do in order to increase or maintain my current fitness level?

Hi there.
Have you considered deep water running with a floatation belt?
