To Swim
intransitive verb, godan verb
This word consists of kanji with hiragana attached. Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means swim so the verb vocab version is to swim.
The reading is kun'yomi (see that hiragana sticking out?) but that's the reading you learned with the kanji.

Swimming in the sea is not safe because the typhoon is approaching.
いつか人魚みたいに泳ぎたいんだ。

市立プールだからといって、泳ぐにはお金がかかります。
Even though it's a municipal pool, it still costs money to swim.
あんた、目が泳いでるよ。
Hey, your eyes are shifty.
