Can Swimming Get You Ripped?

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?

    In 1964 I started the marathon swim race season at 255lbs and ended the season at 187lbs. I swam approx 300 miles racing and trained about 300 miles during the season. Never did any running that year. I just stepped on the scale this morning 250 lbs. My avatar picture is a photo from 1954, 212lbs at the British Empire Games.
