In and of itself? No. Perhaps, as is often the case, some long distance sea swimmers allow their bodyfat to creep up a little by way of insulation (because it can be cold) and as a fuel store.

How could swimming increase body fat? It's a full body cardio workout.

Swimming is a great low impact cardio workout. I highly recommend it
