Isn't this integrated in all modern keyboards?

At least Google keyboard does it now!

Swiping input yes, but the implementation of Swype was superior to the others like Swiftkey.

I can't really describe, but it was better at capturing the words I swiped and also handled multiple languages better.

Multiple languages with Google Swype is indeed awful.
If I use the default keyboard instead of swiftkey on my iphone I can't swipe for words and have to peck at the screen like its 1860. So unless there's a setting I'm missing somewhere, no.
What phone is it, I use gboard (even though my Huawei has a Swype keyboard), Settings > Language & Input > gboard > glide > enable glide input.

But if it's an Android just use settings search?

It's an iphone not android. I was letting the commenter know that it's not integrated in to apples keyboard, at least as far as I can tell.
If it's gboard, you might have to enable it in settings.
Gboard is pretty weak in comparison. Much worse spelling and its custom dictionary may or may not work, I have no idea.
