    No.

    I can not swim
    My brother swam in his pool.
    I have never swum.
    My head is swimming.

    Any other "conjugations" are invalid.

      Wow, you really swimt into that one. Some people will fall for anything.

      Sorry, I’ve taken a vowel of silence with the Catalyst Church that prevents me from responding.

      Word you mind not toiling me that, fleece?  There’s no way I can make it write for you, I’m just a simple linguini-ist trying to make it day-by-day.

    Pardon my interjection here, but in conjunction with a recent article predicated on verbal pronounciation, it is unwaffle to preposition a person.
