Would it be correct if I use the bare infinitive ' let's go swim' instead of 'let's go swimming'?

I'm sure you could hear let's go swim. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's correct to say so. Hope this helps

I expect the answers here will also be similar. I would say only, "Let's go swimming".
