After graduating from high school in Traunstein in 1969, Jakob Schwimmer completed an apprenticeship as a businessman and has been working as an independent businessman since then. From 1972 to 1974 he was chairman of the Catholic rural youth movement (KLJB) in the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising , from 1973 to 1975 deputy national chairman of the KLJB.

In 1977 Schwimmer was elected chairman of the local CSU association Sankt Wolfgang, and in 1978 he was elected to the executive board of the Erding district association. From 1978 to 1983 Schwimmer was second mayor, from 1983 to 2014 honorary first mayor of the municipality of Sankt Wolfgang. The upswing of the community to a growing and economically strong community is largely attributed to the active politics of Schwimmer.

From 1990 to 2008 he was chairman of the Erding District Association of the Bavarian Municipal Council. From 1996 to 2010 he was chairman of the adult education center in the district of Erding, and in this role he drove the construction of the VHS building and the conversion of the VHS from an association to a municipal association (since 2009). Schwimmer has been a member of the district council of the Erding district since 1978, where he has been chairman of the CSU parliamentary group since 2011.

In the state elections in 2003 he was elected to the Bavarian State Parliament for the constituency of Erding ( constituency of Upper Bavaria ), where he works in the committee for constitutional, legal and parliamentary questions as well as in the committee for public service questions. In 2008 he was re-elected and worked in the state parliament's interior and municipal committee. In the party's internal candidate list in the run-up to the state elections in 2013 , the CSU state treasurer Ulrike Scharf ran against Schwimmer and unexpectedly prevailed against resistance from the local CSU leadership.

Jakob Schwimmer is married and has two children.
