i don't think there really is a country of origin for swimming. As long as humans have been in existence people have been enjoying the water. Every country has lakes and oceans, etc. even if they didnt actually have Swimming Pools until the last century, they swam outdoors in natural settings.
Swimming is thought to be thousands of years old and may have been started by the Ancient Egyptians. Swimming as a sport was introduced in Great Britain in the 19th century.

If it's swimming versus downhill, that would be swimming. However, if it's swimming versus cross country, easily, cross country. What muscles do you need most for cross country skiing? All of them. Swimming neglects the calf and extensor (forearm) muscles, regardless of swimming style. In cross country skiing both your calves and forearms will get a workout, and the only part of the body not worked is the neck. However cross country skiing involves every single muscle in the human body.
