Yes, the word 'swimming' is a gerund, a verbal noun, the presentparticipleof the verb to swim. A gerund functions in a sentence as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition. Examples:

subject: Swimming is my favorite sport.

object: We have a new coach for swimming.


The present participle of the verb also functions as an adjective: swimming lessons, swimming competition, etc.
