Well, it's definitely not true. Losing weight is a matter of consuming
less calories than you burn. Swimming burns calories - certainly more
than just sitting around, even if all you are doing is dog paddling.

I lost 45lbs in my 20's and my main form of exercise was swimming, and
when I swam in HS, I had to eat a ton of food to keep the energy I
needed. It's like any other exercise.
