Are swifts faster than swallows

Yes, swifts are generally faster than swallows. The common swift can reach speeds of up to 69 miles per hour (111 km/h) during level flight, while the barn swallow typically flies at around 11 to 20 miles per hour (18 to 32 km/h). Both birds are agile fliers, but swifts have evolved to be faster in level flight.
