The two plant types that meet the given criteria are:

  1. Ferns - They reproduce using spores, and in their reproductive cycle, sperm must swim through water to reach the eggs.

  2. Mosses - Like ferns, mosses also reproduce using spores, and sperm swim through water to fertilize the eggs.

Both ferns and mosses fulfill the criteria outlined related to swimming sperm and reproduction via spores.
