That could be an issue of temperature (water cools you down faster than air...), or simply you need to swim harder or change you stroke.
A few laps at full speed with dog paddling or even traditonal stroking is different than full speed, many laps, using only breast stroke or butterfly stroke (butterfly being the hardest and require maybe some ab-work to get prepared for).
Mostly, you use swimming to work out a whole multitude of muscles (your arms, abs, legs, shoulders, back, etc.) instead of just...your legs with running.
Also, running is good, but it can fuck up your knees after awhile, especially if you do it too often.
You may be a marathon runner now, but you'll be in a walker by the time you're 50.
