Take a look at the sentence again:
Danny loved going to the beach. He watched beautiful women in skimpy bikinis,
ate fresh seafood, and
swum in the refreshing water. After a shark
bit his leg, however, Danny preferred the
pool at his apartment complex.
The second verb, swum, is incorrect. Since there are no auxilary verbs, the sentence needs just the simple past form, swam. Swim is an irregular verb; the chart below shows its forms.
| Verb | Simple Present | Simple Past | Past Participle |
| swim | swim(s) | swam | swum |
Ate, the verb you chose, is perfectly correct. Before you continue, review the rules for irregular verbs.
