Swimming is probably 'the worst' way to get rid of fat because when you swim, your body temperature remains low unlike when running or biking. This lower body temperature doesn't suppress the appetite as much as a higher body temperature does. Thus, swimmers tend to overeat while burning about the same amount of calories in a similarly timed session of running or biking.
I've managed to loose 20lbs over 4 months solely through swimming, and have maintained the same weight for the past 3 yrs. I also eat more now than when I was not swimming. For me, swimming has probably been 'the best' way to get rid of fat, because I enjoy swimming far more than I enjoy counting calories. Just saying.
