A wet commute

Here's someone who really takes alternative commuting serious. She's doing her commute from San Pedro to Long Beach -- by swimming!

Not many San Pedro residents can say they've swum to class in Long Beach. But that's precisely what graduate student Sierra Brown did Monday morning, swimming 11 miles from Ports O' Call Village to Long Beach as part of an eight-week project for her thesis. Each week, the 28-year-old will commute to her Monday night art critique class at California State University, Long Beach, using a different mode of human-powered transportation. (Daily Breeze)

You're right; that's just swummingly.

It's the past participle of "to swim" - look it up!

"The regular past tense of “swim” is “swam”: “I swam to the island.” However, when the word is preceded by a helping verb, it changes to “swum”: “I’ve swum to the island every day.” The “’ve” stands for “have,” a helping verb."

The usage above meets this definition. It's correct.

"Swum" is a word, it's the past participle of "swim."
