For third person plural or plural noun subjects do not add -s to the verb

they swim

the boys swim

For third person singular and singular noun subjects add -s to the verb.

he swims

she swims

it swims

the dog swims

I is not a third person subject pronoun so no -s is added to the verb.

Plural nouns in the third person are used to indicate actions or characteristics that apply to more than one individual or object. For example, "they swim" refers to multiple people swimming, while "she swims" indicates a singular female subject engaging in the activity. This helps differentiate between singular and plural subjects in sentences.
