Swimming is the best out of the three. It consists of using all of your muscles. It's a great way to burn body fat, and tone up. Plus, if you even swim outdoors you can get a great tan just make sure you apply some sun tan lotion or sunscreen.
Good luck!
I wish I had a pool close by, but I don't feel like driving 20 min. to go swimming at a gym.

Bike every time, walking for 30 min only burns 200 calories if your at a real fast pace. Biking will burn 700 at least.

Dude it is the fast jogging that burns the most calories.
If you are biking at the most your lower body is in motion, but fast jogging involves the whole body motion,
Swimming cannot be ignored as well if you are considering to tone your muscles. But ideally its the jogging specially on mountain trails that will burn the most calories.

By far swimming, because you are using your entire body instead of just mostly your legs in both walking and biking. I'm a swimmer and I'm training for a triathlon and by far swimming is definitely the most taxing.

I've heard swimming uses almost all the muscles in the body

the intensity that exercise is performed at determines how many calories are expended during exercise. so if "you" are a more effecient runner than swimmer, running will be optimum for you to use in terms of cardiovasular exercise and for fat loss.
out of the three that you listed walking is by far the least effective for fat loss. it is low intensity and causes very little if any increase in the resting metabolic rate after the conclusion of exercise. when you exercise at a high level of intensity not only do you expend more energy during the exercise session but there is a greater increase in the resting metabolic rate after exercise. this is called the excess post exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). basically after high intensity exercise the body utilizes more oxygen in an attempt to restore itself to the pre-exercise state. this causes an increase in the resting metabolic rate so the amount of fatty acids being used for energy also increases.
low intensity exercise utilizes more fatty acids during exercise and the amount of glucose used for energy is increased after
high intensity exercise utilzes glucose during exercise and the amount of free fatty acids used for energy is increased after
