The Swarm didn't have a strong start to the 2010 season, losing four of their first five games. But after winning four of their next five to even their record at 5-5, they lost their last six games of the season, three of them in overtime, to finish with a 5-11 record. Despite the .313 winning percentage, the Swarm made the playoffs ahead of the 4-12 Colorado Mammoth. But in the playoffs, their losing streak continued, as the eventual champion Washington Stealth eliminated them with a 14-10 victory.
