I recall a study that said swimming - while great exercise - was inferior to other exercises like running, cycling, rowing, skiing and aerobics as a fat reducer. I'm not sure if it had to do with the lack of thermogenics (IE you don't really sweat while swimming or raise a core body temperature much which diminishes fat loss) or what. This study was from about 10 years ago.
