Advice to Understand How Swain Will Play
While laning, try to use Death's Hand's piercing damage to damage opponents from a safe distance.
Vision of Empire is quite difficult to land on its own, look for skirmishes around the map where enemies may be distracted or crowd controlled so you can land it more easily.
If you're having trouble rooting an enemy with Nevermove, try throwing it at opponents when they are near their minions so the explosion surprises them.
Demonic Ascension may make Swain very hard to kill but he's pretty easy to get away from. Try building items that can slow opponents to keep them in range if their mobility is overwhelming.

How to Play with Swain as Ahri in LoL
The Ahri Swain synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Swain, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Ahri sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Swain. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Swain helps Ahri perform worse in ranked LoL games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Ahri tries to synergize with Swain, she observes a little decrease in her total damage dealt. This change could signal that Swain does not provide cover for her to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Ahri is played alongside Swain on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Swain. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Swain.
Moreover, when Ahri plays with Swain on the same team, she usually receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Swain does a decent job of protecting Ahri during team fights.

Swain has a greater difficulty than Ahri. That means you must be cautious when lining up Swain comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Fighting alongside, Ahri players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to to do a lot of AP damage. Combined, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
Conversely, by aligning Ahri and Swain together, you may not be giving your other allies enough anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their potential.
Regardless of the ability of your Swain ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
