it’s more natural to say “i swam under the bridge”, or, “i went swimming under the bridge.” both of these will have the same meaning

@nia_m Thank you for your advice!
Some say “I swam under the bridge” could have two different meanings.
(1) I swam around under the bridge. (2) I swam and passed under the bridge.
Which of them is closer to what you imagine when you hear the sentence “I swam under the bridge”?
