Which would be the difference between "hon simmar pa mandag" and "hon simmar pa mandagar" (sorry I have no diacritics). Does the one mean that in the first case she goes swimming this one Monday and in the second one she goes swimming every Monday?

Thank you, but could you give me an example? I'm not sure if I understand correctly - do you mean mondays during some specific time period?
Yeah, like if you're planning four weeks of summer vacation and you know exactly about which four mondays you're talking.
Hello..! In Swedish days' and months' first letter is not written in capital? Is it so? :-)
Is the English translation even correct? Aren't you supposed to use the present simple when expressing habit?
The system shows you what it thinks is the closest correct solution to what you wrote. Using "is swimming" is not an uncommon construction, so I think it's fine, even if you won't find it in the grammar books. :)
Makes sense, I guess, thanks :) It just gets a little confusing when neither English nor Swedish is your native language.
I have to look at the meaning of every preposition no matter what in time as the meaning always changes -_-
My Swedish textbook (~2016) uses "på måndags", is that correct or am I hallucinating?
That's definitely not correct, unless used as the first part of a compound.
