Swimming in the place of running?

So with my IT band not cooperating lately, I really crave physical activity to maintain some form of aerobic conditioning….not to mention I really still want to do a specific marathon on Sept. 30th. We have a lap pool near our house which I was thinking about using instead of running (I can’t get past 1 or 2 miles without it flaring up).
Will this still aggravate my IT band? Has anyone done this while overcoming ITBS?
I posted this in the ITBS society as well, but need an alternative and would appreciate any pointers!
