You're both not wrong.
Swimming has been touted as one of the best exervises for awhile now because of the resistance.
That being said, it won't make you stronger. It depends what your goals are as well. If it's purely weight loss, either works. Weight lifting is important to incorporate as muscles end up using more calories to maintain. But most of all you want to have a decently strong body just for your future. There's benefits to all of these things. It's whatever you enjoy most.

Sorry I support the pool training. I was referring to the comment that OP replied to that suggested that cardio is more important for fat loss. But after rereading the comment it’s not as bad as I thought. But I still stand by my comment for a combo cardio weight training.

Oh for sure. I was in OP's shoes with a T2 diagnosis. Although mine was official. Doctor offered medicine and I said can I just change my diet + exercise to put it into remission. He said yeah your young enough to try. Honestly as a dude that spent most of his early life playing rougher contact sports, I put cardio to the side and just pumped. It helped my fat loss but not at the rate I wanted. I was getting and am hella strong now. But I've added more cardio time and the combination is doing wonders.
