Swiftly tells HOW they swim; it modifies a verb.
So swiftly is an adverb.

Yes, adverb, plus the whole sentence is a good example of alliteration or a good tongue twister!

Many adverbs end in LY. That is one clue, and the other is that it describes how something is done- describes a verb. IT is an ADVERB
