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?

Any thoughts on the difference aerobic swimming vs. anaerobic swimming will play on metabolism ergo weight loss?
If I remember correctly --and I may not, aerobic swimming (exercise with oxygen, or the huffing and pounding of the heart as you swim) will lead to weight loss…
Anaerobic swimming (-swimming with controlled breathing or exercise with out oxygen), won’t do a darn thing for my shapely bottom! But may improve my swimming performance tremendously.
Please correct me if I am mistaken.
