You say you've done some running recently and then that you're unsure about joining a gym. Gym workouts are very different to running workouts. I run (A LOT) and try to avoid the gym as much as I can because I find it a soul-destroying place to be. I'd much rather run outside in crappy weather (excuse for better kit 
) than use a treadmill for example. It can be useful for doing work on specific muscle groups where there's a weakness or niggly injury though.
It all depends on what you enjoy and what you want to achieve. With your swimming background other aerobic sports should come easily to you (running, cycling, rowing for example). I'd be careful of the impact injury potential with running if you're not used to it or prone to those types of injuries. The triathlon suggestion is good but you may end up surrounded by blokes is lycra crop tops

Yep, beign a swimmer really does make you completly useless at every other type of exercise) than use a treadmill for example.

but other older ex swimmers have suggested (for a laugh
) that we go do the triathlon at grendon lakes in northamptonhttp://www.justracinguk.com/event.asp?EID=27
Swimming would obviously be the easiest part but what sort of training do i need to do to prepare for this?
