The site below has a table to estimate calories burned swimming. If you hold everything else constant, you will lose about one pound for every 3500 calories expended in exercise.

Possibly. Swimming is good for your body in losing weight and especially in strength training/resistance. You would need a trainer to answer you specifically based on what kind of swimming you are doing, your bmi and body structure. EIther way, it would definately contribute to your overall health.

Swimming is a great all-body cardio vascular exercise. In any case, since it works all major muscle groups, bear in mind that, in the long run, you may loose fat, but gain muscle... and muscle weights more than fat, thus you may have less body volume, but approximately the same weight.

But of course!! You don't only loose weight... your muscles also get toned. It's the second sport (after capoeira) that excersises every single muscle in your body!
