Swimming tightens skin???
This has been a fun post, and I am not laughing at anyone just laughing with you. Afterall where would we be without our sense of humors?
There have been many times since I started this roller coaster ride that if I had not had my sense of humor and could laugh about things I have done and make fun at myself that I am sure I would have totally lost my mind by now. A lot of days have been very questionable as it is.
Have a wonderful day!!

Like others have said, it does tone up the muscles (swimming is very good for toning up a lot of different muscles all at one time), which helps to fill out the sagging skin, but certainly doesn't address it.
One warning if you start swimming, and haven't been in the pool since losing a LOT of weight: you won't float like you once did! While it is kind of funny, it can also be scary if you jump in the deep end and aren't a good swimmer -- you really can't rely on floating anymore and will drop like a rock.

Normal BMI (24.9) = 159#: would have to compromise my muscle mass to get here without plastics, so this is not a goal.
