Swimming will improve your breathing technique which will benefit your cycling. Jogging/fell running will ensure you load your bones and don't get brittle bones (which can stop you cycling.

It's all good - called Cross-training!

They all tend to use different muscles, so it's a good thing to do all three. Sticking to one for a period of time tends to cause others to suffer due to the muscles used. Example, I've recently started swimming and have found cycling does very little for your core and upper body muscles, something swimming utilises.

The thing you need to watch with swimming is that if the pool is cold you will want to eat loads after... so it can be detrimental if that's a problem.

I have to say I don't do any exercise like footy in case it ruins my knees, but thats just me, my knees are too precious !

Footy is no good for cyclists. Swimming is great - running OK, but watch the shocks - so run off road. TBH looks fine from what you are doing.

Me - it's cycling ONLY - so doomed...........
