Hey there! I'd be happy to help you out with your question. The past tense of swim is 'swam'. Think of it as the action of having swum in the past. Just like we say "I have swum in that pool before", we also say "I swam in that pool yesterday".
It's important to note that the past tense of swim is irregular, meaning it doesn't follow the typical pattern of adding '-ed' to the end of the verb. Many other irregular verbs work the same way, where the past tense doesn't follow the usual pattern. For example, we say 'drive' in the present tense and 'drove' in the past tense, or 'eat' in the present tense and 'ate' in the past tense.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
