Re: go swimming

Yes - I want to go to shop would almost certainly not occur. I want to go shopping or I want to do the shopping instead.
Let's go to swim in the lake would probably mean the person was actually thinking - Let's go to the lake in order to swim there - so to swim becomes an infinitive of purpose. But as I said, it's very unlikely and Let's go swimming in/at the lake sounds much more probable
