Swim is an album by British rock group, Feeder. Swim was Feeder's first commercial release, but failed to have much commercial success. After Feeder broke into the mainstream with their single "Buck Rogers" and "Echo Park" album, "Swim" was re-released, with a further five tracks and two videos. The only difference between the original "Swim" artwork and the re-release, is the colour of the backgrounds; blue for the original and red for the re-release.

The album on the week of re-release was Kerrang! magazine's "Album of the week" and their website featured a commentary from lead vocalist and guitarist Grant Nicholas on each of the 11 audio tracks at the time.[1]

It made #15 on the UK indie chart, and #91 on the national chart.

In late 2006 to co-incide with the Japan tour in October of the same year, the album got its first release outside Europe.[2]
