Corrigindo em parte: para descrever atividades de lazer, usa-se "go" + "gerund":
"Let's go swimming at my house."
Let's go = vamos (uma suggestão informal)
Let us go é usado no sentido de pedir permissão:
• Please, mom, let us go to the concert on Saturday.
• Por favor, permita-nos ir ao show no sábado.
• Let's go to the concert on Saturday.
• Vamos ao show no sábado.

Só para esclarecer que o que perguntei nesta página está respondido por um gramático inglês(W.Stannard Allen) Diz ele que Let's difere de Let us. Let's é usado para fazer um convite, como um imperativo da primeira pessoa do plural: Vamos (nós)!. Let us é uma forma imperativa da segunda pessoa: Deixe-nos (você); Deixa-nos (tu) e não pode ser reduzida para let's). Assim Let us go swim seria Deixe-nos nadar e Let's swim seria Vamos nadar. O problema é que o Duolingo evita as formas reduzidas e Let us talvez seja, para o Dulolingo, Let's. Se o Duolingo pudesse responder...Mas Fercho respondeu abaixo, um ano depois, num comentário bem completo, que inclui let us e let's. Vale a pena ler.
Let's (vamos) em vez de Let us (permita-nos) faz mais sentido:
Let's go swimming at my house.
Para fazer uma sugestão informal/um convite, usa-se a contração let's = vamos.

Let's = vamos (imperativo da primeira pessoa usado para fazer uma suggestão informal - tornou-se uma expressão fixa.)

Creio que se fosse um pedido como todos estão dizendo, deveria haver um ponto de interrogação no final da frase. E eu não me incluo quando quero pedir pra mãe de alguém deixar seu filho ou filha fazer algo. O pedido mais natural seria: Do you let her swim at my house? Já esta frase do Duolingo me parece um convite: Vamos nadar na minha casa.
Escrito assim, também não faz sentido em inglês. "Let's" significa "vamos" e representa a primeira pessoa do imperativo usado para fazer sugestões ou convites informais. "Let + pronome" é usado para dar ou pedir permissão.
• Let's go swimming at my house.
• Vamos nadar na minha casa.
• Please, mom, let us go out with our friends tonight!
• Por favor, mãe, deixe-nos sair com nossos amigos hoje à noite!
• Let me know when you arrive home.
• Avise-me quando você chegar em casa.
