There are two verbs. "Like" is the main verb.

But "to swim" is also a verb, an infinitive, which can also function as a verbal, a verb form that is acting as some other part of speech. In this case the verbal is acting as a noun, the direct object of the verb "like," answering the question "What do I like?"
