Does swimming help you loose weight and get in shape.

Hi all I just recently discovered a love for swimming and would like to know if its a good way to get in shape. Oh and Im a newvy at this so if anyone has aim or yahoo messenger and would like to help me out let me know!
I liked the comment on "mixing it up" and have heard that using different activities helps keep the muscles "confused" enough that you never end up in a total rut, and you are then constantly retoning other muscle types/groups. Anyone else have this experience that could add to this discussion?
I started playing hockey this winter to supplement my swim training. Something really different. I try to get out on the bike during the warm weather months, and will play basketball or flag football every once in a while. Haven't lifted since ~March. Does walking the dog count?
