Ever since I joined a club with a pool I've stayed away from the treadmill. I did some search on a bodybuilding forum and read that swimming is not very effective in burning fat. I'd like to say it is, at least if done a certain way. So the real question is, what is the best way to swim freestyle and butterfly to get ripped?

I think diet does have a lot to do with it (to state the obvious).
Studies have shown that swimming tends to encourage cravings for fat and carbs. If you can resist those cravings and eat sensibly, you will lose fat through a balanced training programme.
As has been said, you will not get huge muscles from swimming.
