I go to swim or I go swimming #1 (permalink) Wed Nov 12, 2008 23:03 pm   I go to swim or I go swimming
 

Hi can you help

When to use the infinitive or ing
I go to swim every week or I go swimming every week

The second sounds much better but we are told to use the infinitive when it is a repeated action in the present simple?

Thanks

If it's a repeated action then you can just plain old present simple: I swim every week.
