What does "went swimmingly" mean? It means a situation went very well. Everything went as planned and even better than expected.

"swimmingly" means doing very well. If you think of swimming, you're floating effortlessly. You get to where you are going with no problem.

If everything is going swimmingly, it means everything is going just swell, perfectly or, to use another expression, tickety-boo.
