To (have/take) a swim a long time!

How do I start a business? I’m going for a swim. What are the risks?
As an IT manager, we have to learn English and study English to understand linguistics. 2. If you are getting many answers to the questions asked above, is there a way where you can help me? I’m going for a swim.
2. Describe how to do a web design/blog? What is an appropriate time to take the swim?

Do the last two sentences of these sentences still work? What are all the last two?
I know that you can use ‘have’ and ‘take’ with certain nouns, in sentences such as;

1. We’re going to take a look around
2. We’re going to do (have/take) a look around 3. Thanks! I’m gonna have a read of this book

I believe they’re called Delexical Verses (Delexical Verbs).

I know they sound unnatural, but are they correct and would you feel them okay in casual/casual conversations?

How to get involved in the society?

All three sentences are correct but they can carry a ridiculous complexity of meaning.

“I’m going for something” in this context, means I am departing to do or obtain that something. I know that something that is going to happen or be happen. Whereas in other contexts “going for swim” could mean that attempting to achieve something ( “I’m going for the record”), or I am choosing an option (given a choice of desserts, “I’m going for the ice-cream”), it could instead mean that either of these alternate possibilities applies to “going for a swim”.

What is intended to mean by “I’m going to have a swim”? Are you in a hurry to go for a swim? In the specific case of swimming, this distinction is pretty meaningless, but if you replace the activity with, say, napping, it gains some relevance: “I’m going for a nap” is appropriate only if you are napping elsewhere, while “I’m going to (have|take) a nap” would also be appropriate if you are going to nap right where you

are.
