Cath,
It would be close to it I think.. You would use more muscle power walking than swimming.. For the counting of exercise cals, go with that, or otherwise Google it... It is not in the other workout calculator I use if MFP doesn't have what I want.

You burn 228.9 calories during 30 minutes of Water Aerobics.
Found it in this site: http://www.self.com/calculatorsprograms/calculators/caloriesburned
and the other one I use: http://www.bodyblitz.net.au/calculators/workout-calculator/
Hope these both help you.. xxx0
