Gerund/infinitive

When do I use gerund and when do I use infinitive. Please help.

" Swimming/To swim is a good form of exercise."

Thanks.

In this case, use the gerund. Swimming is a good form of exercise. Infinitives are usually used after another conjugated verb: I am going to swim.

Sometimes I see that to-infinitive is a subject.

For example: To teach is to learn.

Please help. Thanks.
