1 mile of running to warmup

Hi I plan to do 30-40 mins of swimming as cross training instead of running. What kind of warmup should I do for this? I was thinking 1 mile warmup then stretching just like I do before any other run.

Please give input and thank you.

Nothing

You do one mile running before you run?

No

Finished the cross training session which took 1hr10min. Pretty efficient of my time considering that a normal run takes 1hr 45min from start to finish.

Idiot, it's not "efficient" to simply do less exercise.

I also did a 2 hr agility and weight session this morning so I'm not doing less exercise.

Nor are you being more efficient with your time, since you did a total of 3 hours today.

You're seriously worried about getting injured on an easy swim? Even if you were, it would be in the shoulders or back and running 1 mile would do absolutely nothing to prevent an injury.

I like how your undedicated self is making 3 hours of practice sound like a bad thing.

You need to warmup and stretch before to prevent overuse injuries.

Your uneducated self is trying to make 3 hours of practice instead of 1h45m sound like a "time efficient" think. Hope you find a job that doesn't involve math.

No you don't. But if you did, you would need to warm up the arms and shoulders before a swim, which you didn't.
