It more means that the swimmer was near/close to the edge of the pool rather than using little strength or struggling to get there

“Getting myself to” implies that the person was taking the action of getting to the other end of the pool. If the speaker was barely able to do it, it would be phrased “I was barely able to get myself to the other end of the pool”

@semms
Does " taking the action" suggest that the swimmer made his final stroke to the edge, using what little strength he had left, something along the line?
