How to simply say "and" in Japanese, to coordinate two actions?

My question is divided into two sub-questions: coordination inside one
sentence, and coordination between two sentences.

  * **Coordination inside one sentence**

For instance :

(1) _I like to cook and to swim._

(2) _Today, I went to the park and I studied in the library._

For (1), machine translation systems systematically give a sentence with the
nominalization of the action words, linked by と.

For (2), these same MT systems systematically use the "て" form of one of the
action verbs.

But I would like to make a sentence like : Pronoun + する + conjunction + する

Is there such a conjunction, and such a sentence pattern in Japanese?

  * **Coordination between two sentences**

What would be the grammatical word to coordinate two sentences such as:

_I went to the park. Additionally, I studied in the library._

N.b.: Of course, the machine translation output are simply given as
illustrations. Indeed, I did not encounter such kind of conjunction and
sentence pattern in my (beginner/intermediate) practice of Japanese.

Question 1: ("I like to X and Y", in one sentence)

> 私は料理することと泳ぐことが好きだ。  
>  私は料理と水泳が好きだ。

You might not want nominalization, but I don't think you can get around it in
this case. If you want to make it shorter, you can use nouns instead of
nominalized verbs. 私は料理して泳ぐことが好きだ would not be what you want to say - it
sounds more like you like to cook while swimming.

Question 2: ("I did X and Y", in two sentences)

> 私は今朝公園に行った。図書館に **も** 行った。  
>  私は今朝公園に行った。 **そして** 図書館に行った。  
>  私は今朝公園に行った。 **それから** 図書館に行った。

The first option seems closest to "additionally", although the word you need
to use doesn't come at the beginning of the second sentence. The last two
options imply chronological order.
