It is an adverb. An adverb modifies a verb (an action word). Swim in the verb in this sentence. How does the fish swim? It swims swiftly.
For future reference MOST words that end in "ly" are adverbs.

The breakdown of the sentence is as follows:
Subject noun is "fish"
Verb is "swim"
"Large" modifies the noun "fish", so it is an adjective.
The verb has two modifiers, "swiftly" and "in the sea". "In the sea" is an adverbial clause. Adverbs modify or further describe the verb. Does this help?

Usually if a word that follows a verb has ly at the ending then it is an adverb.

It's an adverb. Usually adverbs end in "ly" and follows the noun you are describing the action of.
