I hate to sound lazy, but I hate running because I get all sweaty and my breathing becomes rough and it's just not an attractive feeling.
However, I am a very good swimmer and I love to swim. I don't even view it as exercise. I can swim non-stop across my pool for an hour.
Will I still lose as much weight swimming as I would if I were running?
Thanks.

Yes, swimming is a good all around exercise.

Yes, swimming is an excellent way to lose weight. But I always found that running gave me the best results. If you hate running, just do it 2 or 3 times a week and save the rest of your workouts for swimming. Just make sure you get your heart rate up; it should feel like a workout.
You could also try biking.
Good luck!
