As already said, swimming is a great workout. I'm no expert but what about the cross trainer? This is more of a question than a suggestion though.

A mate who had shin splints was advised to go running along the beach because the sand is more forgiving, plus it's a lot more of a workout than running on the road etc.

It would make sense that the cross-trainer will be better than running but, again, I don't know for definite.

Cycling and/or spinning. I had shin splints for months and couldn't get rid. Eventually gave up running and football and started mountain biking. Noticed my quads getting stronger after a while and started running again. Shinsplints are now barely a problem.
