There's nothing wrong with "it's his habit to swim...". It sounds more natural to me, besides.

No. You need this instead:

He usually swims in the afternoon.

"habitual about someone" is completely unidiomatic. Use "usually" instead.

It's habitual about her to have a sandwich for lunch.
It's habitual about them to arrive early for class.
