Do parameciums only swim around?

No. Parameciums, a type of ciliates, have to get energy first before they're even able to move, so these eukaryotes don't only swim around. Parameciums use their cilia (tiny hair-like organelles) to sweep food from their surroundings into their gullet, which is like a mouth. They also use their cilia for transportation.
