SWIMMING OF COURSE!!!!!!  Even the question offends. Swimmers are the most diciplined, most independent and focused athletes. By swimming you excercise your entire body.

Basketball.. less chance of injury.  A little easier on the body.

Basketball would be the best. Soccer is more famous but if your looking for the sport with all the satisfaction and coolness then basketball is it. The fact that your good at it only improves it. Basketball needs way more physical fitness and mental attitude and if your a basketball player you'll gain an air and an attitude unlike in soccer. So take my word as I play it myself and go to basketball.

Neither one is all that exciting to me. Basketball has too much scoring, soccer not nearly enough. But given the choice, I would much rather watch a basketball game. Some of the plays those guys make are incredible, but I've never seen a soccer play that really impressed me.\n\nAnd for those people who say basketball isn't international, it really is. It's played in about as many countries as soccer is.

apo2_99 is wrong, you do sweat, but your in a pool so who cares.  but there are many advantages.  good for cardiocascular stuff, both aerobic and anaerobic activity.  stretches out your muscles, relieves stress, helps you sleep, keeps you in shape/ gets you in shape.  very fun.  good way to avoid drowning.  and just by learning to swim, you'll be a better swimmer than 95% of the world, so that is cool.

swimming,not because of the skimpy suits either...the body moving thru the water is sleek to me..and diving is what I consider to be majestic..great to watch and even better to do myself! =)

I think so. To swim, you need to use all of your muscles and, depending on what stroke you do, it can be a really good excercise for certain muscles. Also, there are lots of differant levels of swimming that will challenge you more as you learn.

Basketball since there are soo many cool aspects of it. Dunking, Shooting, dribbling and it can get complicated...

Swimming is a better total body workout. By varying your swim workout with drills, you can get an equally strenous lower body work out swimming as you can in a spinning class. Swimming is an excellent workout for your core muscles and smaller muscles that lifting alone would be difficult to work.

Hockey all the way!! \n\nIn basketball they score almost every time up and down the court, its like a game for people with ADD.  And even the BIGGEST play in basketball is still only worth ANOTHER 2 or 3 points... <yawn>  Lately basketball(pro) has turned into a beauty contest, instead of a team sport.  and 6 Fouls?  gimme a break.  The last 2 minutes of watching men play bumpass takes 20 minutes to watch.\n\nIn hockey they have to work for every single goal, and without a team effort you would fail miserably. (no 81 points by a single player here)  Hockey is much more physically demanding.  Both sports are bothered by inconsistant calls by the refs that hurt the game though.\n\nIf you are talking about playing yourself, whatever you enjoy is best!
