Is it good to use ''swamped'' instead of ''very busy''?

Examples:

I have been working our school projects. I need your cooperation about these tasks. After filing it, I'm already swamped.

Or

I have been working school projects that's why I'm very busy.

Is it correct?

No, I don't think so. The word "swamped" has implications that "very busy" does not. If I am "swamped" I might have more work than I can handle. The phrase "very busy" doesn't suggest that. Think of a person who is swamped as somebody who is drowning. (In this case the person is drowning in work.)

What do you mean by "after filing it"?

I have been working on my school projects; that's why I'm very busy.

Resolving tasks.
