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'd say 95% of the time I am not hungry after a workout - and once in a while I am even nauseous. However, I have to eat something within the hour. But I am not starving.
In the mainstream, swimming gets a bad rap - probably because when most people think of swimming, they think of easy laps; as someone mentioned.
Also, I know of people who have lost weight walking. And I don't mean going out for a stroll at the mall - this is arm pumping race-like walking.
