I always thought that swimming was a cardio exercise, but i was told that it also builds muscle. So is it also a strength training exercise as well as a cardio exercise?

    Anything that challenges your muscle strength will build muscle. Running uphill will build leg muscle if you're not use to it. Swimming will build arm muscles if you're not used to it. Etc.
