If you mean the first person to ever swim, I'd imagine it'd be
either Adam or Eve. If you don't believe anything The Bible says,
then, according to evolution, some sort of single celled organism
'swam' about somewhere....
Every question is just a happy little opportunity.

The first ever swimming event held in the modern Olympic Games
was the 100 meter freestyle on April 11, 1896. The winner was
Alfred Hajos of Hungary in a time of 1:22.2.
The first swimmer was a prehistoric hunter who needed to cross a
river in flood, or a prehistoric person who was being chased by
wolves or other carnivores and needed to get away.
