as fast as I could
was tired out
the same size as
continued 
a huge army of
run away

【解析】
1. 原句中"as fast as possible"与方框里的"as fast as I can"意思相近，原句谓语动词swam是过去式，所以将"can"改为过去式"could"，即as fast as I could。
2. 原句中"was very tired"与方框里的"be tired out"意思一致，原句是一般过去时，所以用was tired out。
3. 原句中"as big as"与方框里的"the same size as"意思相近，直接替换即可。
4. 原句中"went on"与方框里的"continue"意思一致，原句是一般过去时，所以将"continue"改为过去式"continued"。
5. 原句中"a great number of"与方框里的"a huge army of"意思相近，直接替换即可。
6. 原句中"get away"与方框里的"run away"意思一致，to后接动词原形，所以用run away。
【答案】
1. as fast as I could
2. was tired out
3. the same size as
