Yes, swimming is a very good form of exercise.  It can tone many areas, arms, legs, stomach.  You burn a lot of calories especially if you do many activities in the water, not just swimming from one end of the pool to another.  And one good thing about it, it burns calories AND it's fun!!!

Hope this helps! :)
