With this code, the servo will normally be in a centered position, and whenever the rocker switch is thrown, the servo will turn to the corresponding extreme. The servo will return to the centered position whenever the rocker switch is in its centered position.

If you would rather have the servo only go from one extreme to the other, you might want something more like this:
Code:
servo = 0

main_loop:
...
if sw1 = 1 then servo = 254
if sw2 = 1 then servo = 0
