If you can reach and sustain the same heart rate for the same amount of time you will burn pretty much the same amount of calories regardless of activity.Swimming is likely to burn more calories, as you'll probably keep swimming for longer than you'll keep doing sit-ups. Also, sweating is likely to get you more winded than sit-ups.
