  The swampland conjectures from String theory have had very interesting
implications for cosmology and particularly for Inflation. It has been shown
that the single field inflationary models in a GR based cosmology are in
unavoidable tensions with these conjectures, while these single field models
can still be consistent in certain non-trivial inflationary regimes. So it
becomes interesting to see whether there is a way to overcome the issues of the
swampland and single field inflation in an essentially GR based cosmology. We
show that this can indeed be the case and for this, we consider a certain type
of Lorentz violating inflationary scenario. We work out the swampland bounds
for Lorentz violating inflationary models after which show that inflationary
models which would have had otherwise serious tensions with these conjectures
in a usual GR based scenario, can be very tranquil with the criterion in this
regime. For this we take examples of Higgs inflation, radion gauge inflation
and Spontaenous symmetry breaking inflation and show that the bounds imposed by
the swampland on the Lorentz violating parameter can be easily satisfied in
these models.
