Subsitutions for swimming?

Hey, guys, I was just wondering if there are any other sports besides swimming that would be just as effective for growth.
I heard biking and skipping a rope helps...
^_^
Please reply back, and thanks!
This place is really great!

I didn't really think of that breaststroking technique.
Do you know if it really works?
Also, does pilates/yoga help much?
thanks...

Tennis is the third best sport option.
