The basic rules of fishkeeping successfully are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. They are the basics which MUST BE KEPT for all kinds of fish. Then there are the variables which depend upon the species of fish. In your case you have Swordtails, which are tropical livebearers. They need to be kept at around 70F to 75F, and their water should be around neutral which is pH7. They like medium to slightly hard water around 5 GH. If you are not keeping your fish according to what I have just advised, simply doing so and correcting where you are missing out will fix the problem

Are you sure that it is good? Is it being kept at the right temperature? Are the fish dying of sicknesses that are spreading in the water? Are you testing for various things that may be out of balance in the water? Is the water being properly filtered? Are the fish compatible with one another? Sometimes fish will struggle in a brand new tank because there are not enough natural compounds that develop in tanks over time. Check with the store that supplied the tank and/or fish and explain everything about the tank and about how the fish are dying. Most important, don't give up. The tank will give you lots of pleasure once you give everything lined up.

Might want to bring a sample of your water in to a local pet/fish store so they can check the water. They do this for free usually.
