I read somewhere (I can't recall it now) that swimming does not help much with weight loss, and that it doesn't burn as many calories as other sports (such as running). Is this actually true?

I think those who claim that swimming won't help you lose weight are either full of s@@t or talking about meaningless and effortless floating and splashing around in water rather than swimming.Although I never had to lose weight(way too fast of a metabolism), nothing ever got me as tired as swimming which means I lost a bunch of calories and gave my body a major work-out.
