Contaminate has a large range; apply as many stacks of Deadly Venom as possible before using it.
You can catch up to an enemy out of attack range with Venom Cask.
Twitch's Attack Speed is among the highest in the game; try purchasing items with on-hit effects such as Black Cleaver or Wit's End.
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.

Playing alongside, Twitch players should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. Together, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Although, by pairing Twitch and Swain together, you probably will not be granting your other allies much crowd control. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that helps cover this hole in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Swain teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
