I suggest:

{.i mi pu cilre fi lo tadji be lo nu limna} - I learned how to swim. (lit. "I [past] learn [something] about (the method/technique of (the event of (is-a-swimmer))).")

It's that "about" that's the problem. I didn't necessarily learn anything 'about' anything, I learned a new skill, perhaps by being thrown in a swimming pool. It's still "I learned to swim".
