When to "Swam" & When to "Swum"

Are you sure you want to know this?

Okay: Swam is the past tense of swim and swum is the past participle. Which means that if there are no words between the verb and the subjective noun then you use the past tense: He swan to the shore. If there are words in the between them then you use the past participle: He has never swum before.

Or an easier way to put it is linked below:
