Swimming in a pool is just another form of cardio. Just like biking, running, jogging, etc...

The difference with swimming is that it is one of the most efficient forms of cardio. This is because your using your upper and lower body simultaneously, and with added resistance (the water).

Swimming for 20 minutes straight could very well be all you can handle. If that's the case, then swim for 20 minutes.

Because of the efficiency difference, swimming for 20 minutes could give you the same results as running for 35 minutes.

It comes down to your heart rate really. Like sprinting. Your heart rate goes up faster and higher, but you can't do it as long as you can jog. That's fine, because with a higher heart rate, you're burning more calories, hence, the higher efficiency.
