Swallow served overseas during World War I. In 1922, he married Helen E. Ferguson. That same year, Swallow opened a hardware business in Willowbrook. Around 1925, he moved to Theodore, Saskatchewan, where he operated a hardware store and the local Massey Ferguson dealership.[1] He later served as manager of the Yorkton Credit Union. Swallow died in Yorkton at the age of 91.[2]
Swallow Beach in Good Spirit Lake Provincial Park was named in his honour.[3]
