Definitely swimming. You move your ENTIRE body when you swim and you can swim as hard you want or you can take it easy as well. But basketball is easier to get it on as it's just a matter of getting on court and do it. So if you find swimming is too much hassle then just do basketball. Any sport is better than no sport. :)

Swimming is a great way to lose fat... It's Possibly the best way to get ripped without stepping into a gym.

swimming is by far the best sport.  you can swim a couple times a week.  and if the person is slouching too much, it almost wouldnt matter with regular swimming.  the swimming would protect the back far more then the slouching all day.  its an all around excercise that keeps the spine in good shape.  i wouldnt say that it would correct all problems because what if  this was something that was unavoidable no matter what?  so...in that case, swimming would counter it.  but, there is no other sport that is better for posture then swimming.

Swimming and rowing use more muscles than any of these.  However, the best exercise is the one that you enjoy and will do.  Any of these exercises will get you in shape and keep you in shape, so long as you do them.  Pick the ones  you enjoy the most.

with the proper diet swimming is great exercise.  It works several parts of your body while causing very little strain on the joints.

Yes it is,its one of the best and one of the most prolific sports there is, swimmers are amongst the most elite finess regimes there is and are far superior than footballers. nearly all countries compete at swimming, Soccer is no 1. Basketball is No 2. Swimming is No 3.Why do you think Swimming is the highlight of any international sporting Games events ie: Olympic Games/Panam games etc, your right your class 8 grade guys are not very smart in fact their dumbasses and would probally drown if they go in the water.

I play and coach basketball and the best thing to do is play play and play some more you can run a mile a day and then go into the gym and shoot  around do some sprints..... Basketball is a change of pace game and long distant running will help but you need to add sprints to the workout.

SWIM SWIM SWIM. The best excercise in the world. Swimming is totally weightless and it works a series of ways. It is Aerobic and resistance training in one. Aerobic works to get your heart rate going and thus will increase metabolism and help circulation which all burn fat. Also if you are swimming and not doing a stationary type of water work out then your breathing becomes regulated by the type of stroke you are swimming. Resistance training is from the water friction. Every step and stroke you make is like having a few pounds on your hand. Resistance and light weight training is important when losing weight because you have to tighten the skin as well. Good luck, it will change your life when you lose the weight, but make sure you do it right.

Swimming is a better total body workout. By varying your swim workout with drills, you can get an equally strenous lower body work out swimming as you can in a spinning class. Swimming is an excellent workout for your core muscles and smaller muscles that lifting alone would be difficult to work.

I think so. To swim, you need to use all of your muscles and, depending on what stroke you do, it can be a really good excercise for certain muscles. Also, there are lots of differant levels of swimming that will challenge you more as you learn.

I do both. With soccer you have to work together as a team but with swimming it's more individual.  There really isn't anyway to say one is better than the other because both are equally good for your body and keep you in excellent shape.
