I hate running and swimming, but I can't deny they are among the most beneficial things you can do to get in shape. If you want to get in shape fast, try mixing up both. You said you're not built for running - if you have some sort of an injury or disability that physically prevents you from running then that's a real shame, but if you just strongly dislike it or are unfit, you really need to work on it.
Interval training is best (jog 20m, sprint 20m, jog 20m etc) but very difficult for begninners. If you're not a runner, I suggest some slow-paced jogging of perhaps only 2km's to start off with. As you get more comfortable and start noticing improvement (and you will immediately), you should be running 6km at a medium pace. Depending on how seriously you take your training, you should be doing this between 3 and 6 times a week. 3 for those who feel soreness the next day, 6 for those who consider it a nice warmup.
