is swimming a good way to gain muscle or am I just doing cardio

Your muscles don't face very much resistance when you swim (assuming you swim freestyle). If you're a skeleton, it will help you get some basic muscle on your bones, but it really wont do anything for strength. This is especially true if you do longer swims, cause it's more of an endurance thing at that point.

HOWEVER

Any kind of cardio will help your weight training, and I personally do short sprints in the pool on my rest days.

Swimming is the perfect natural human exercise really, martial arts running up fairly close behind.

Reasons to not swim.
Chlorine on skin is 100% unnatural would not be surprised if it causes cancer.
People piss, shit, spit and ejaculate male and female in poops and that goes in your body and give you the nastiest infections.
Ive known of pools shutting down because poo in the loos turn it into a bubonic plague vat.

It doesn't build solid muscle. It just burns fat.

On what planet would swimming be good at building muscle? Just look at swimmers body's. Great cardio though which is always good.
