US Web-coated SWOP is a generic CYMK ICC color profile. SWOP stands for Specifications for Web Offset Publications. In Adobe applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and InDesign the default working space for CYMK is US Web Coated (SWOP).

Basically speaking, if you do work for a client, want the image to be in CYMK, and don't know your client's exact CYMK color profile for whatever device they're printing with, then you use a generic profile. In fact, you use SWOP.
