correct me if i'm wrong. my teacher said, に行きます mean purpose

this sentence 海に泳ぎに行きます makes sense if someone asked 来週の休みの目的は何ですか？

what does 海に泳ぎに行きます mean without someone ask question?

question
grammar
what is the difference between 海に泳ぎに行きます and 海に行って泳ぎます
Yes, the に of 泳ぎに indicates purpose.

海に泳ぎに行きます means "[I'm] going to the beach (in order) to swim" in the sense
that the intended goal/purpose is the swimming and going to the beach is the
means by which the goal can be achieved.

Incidentally 来週の休みの目的は何ですか？ sounds somewhat strange in this context if you are
just asking someone what their plans are for the weekend. If that is the
context, then something like 来週の休みの **予定** は何ですか？ would make more sense.
