A verb typically changes to past tense by adding "-ed" to the base form. However, some verbs undergo a vowel spelling change in their past tense form. This change can involve modifying the vowels of the verb, such as "sing" becoming "sang" or "swim" becoming "swam".

Stem shifters in language morphology are words that change their vowel sounds when they undergo inflection. Examples include the German verbs "sing" and "sang," where the vowel sound changes from "i" to "a" in the past tense. Another example is the English verb "swim," which changes from "swim" to "swam" in the past tense.
yes they do .... i know because i swam with them in sea world.. they squeal...
Anna and she swam in the pool. It is easy to remember when you can state the sentence as: Anna swam in the pool. She swam in the pool (not: Her swam in the pool), so combined they would be Anna and she swam in the pool.
The past tense is swam. (I swam, you swam, they swam) The past participle is swum. Present perfect : he has swum Past perfect : he had swum Future perfect: he will have swum
