Usage notes

To swim or otherwise spend time in the water for leisurely pleasure is idiomatically to bada (bathe) in Swedish. Simma (swim) puts more emphasis on the physical act of swimming, and so might imply for example swimming for exercise or a longer distance. Bada might be closest to how bathe might sometimes be used in British English.
