For sentence number 1, "Swim" is not used as a gerund or infinitive because it is already in the base form. In this case, "swim" functions as a noun and is the subject of the sentence.

In the remaining sentences, the gerunds and infinitives are used appropriately based on the context and the verbs they follow. The prepositions are added where necessary to maintain the correct structure and meaning of the sentences.
