"Swim meet" is used most frequently in the United States, but never "swimming meet". "Swimming competition" would also work though.

In Australian usage, "swim meet" (not "swimming meet") is more likely to be used by swimmers themselves, ie those who do swimming as a sport. The general public is more likely to use "swimming competition". "Swimming contest" doesn't sound quite right and gives the idea of a single race, whereas 'competition' and 'meet' mean a series of races/events.
