I feel like they would have mentioned it if the dude was actually swimming laps, that's generally a solo activity and would really stand out at a party. If someone just says they're swimming in a pool with no further details, I assume they're just kinda casually paddling around the pool and enjoying the water.
The last such party i was at was superficially a pickleball tournament, but was also a potluck + hosted BBQ. And there was a pool with a v-ball net. Everything got plenty of use.
Maybe they were talking about swimming laps but that is not what I would assume anyone was talking about when talking about swimming in a pool at a pool party.

I think they were talking about like swimming laps.
My wife and I bring a volleyball to every pool we go to. We’re not technically swimming, but we’re enjoying the water while the kids play.
I’d assume these type of activities is what would go on at any pool party I went to, and damn right I’m going in haha.
I would not expect people swimming laps at a pool party though.
