Swerve is impossible with 2 motors- at least if you're wanting to be able to turn as well. Use 3 motors, and you can do some limited movement, but then it gets messy, and you can't move in X,Y, and W truly independently.
I'm using four motors (A EV3 Medium motor is a bit hidden behind the brick, and I had to use a NXT motor instead of a second EV3 medium motor to rotate the second module.)- each wheel is independently driven and steered.
