"Swum" is correct. It is the past participle, required when using the past perfect.
Be aware, however, there is a move afoot that would allow the use of the simple past "swam" in this and other similar past perfect circumstances as it is becoming more commonplace in its usage.

Swam, but they both in the past tense and mean the smae thing. Swamm just sounds better.
