"the word fish came from the ancient greek word ofishnes meaning "swimmer"" ????

Not at all. The word "fish" is a common Germanic word, ultimately from the Indo-European root "peisk-". So it's not borrowed from anywhere, it's part of the native vocabulary of English. For origins of words, please see the excellent web site www.etymonline.com
