Anyone found swimming a good way to loose weight/get fit?

Thinking of going a couple of times a week to see if it helps me shed a few lb's!! Obviously its good for you, but i was really just wondering how good it is, ive heard its good for all round tone up, is this true?

When I last wanted to lose weight (before lo) I went swimming once or twice a week and I found it a massive help for losing weight and toning up - and it suited me much more than jumping around like a sweaty elephant at a gym or aerobics class! lol.

Hoping to try to take it up again if I can arrange for mum to look after lo for me, not sure I have the motivation to go in the evenings but that's also a possibility when oh is home I suppose....
