  We explore in this work whether Slotheon model of Dark Energy obeys the
Swampland criteria of string theory. Since de Sitter vacuum is very difficult
to construct in string theory the cosmological constant as an explanation of
Dark Energy is almost ruled out in string theory since it involves a scalar
potential $V$ with positive local minimum that ends up to a stable (or meta
stable) de Sitter (ds) vacuum. In quintessence model however if the derivative
of the scalar potential $V$ ($\nabla V$) is small and $\frac{|\nabla V|}{V}
\sim {\cal {O}}(1)$ then in this situation the potential $V$ can be positive
but the scalar field may not be at the minimum. For a consistent quantum theory
of gravity the theory should not have any ds or meta stable ds vacua. In this
regard the Swampland criterion is proposed which any low energy theory should
obey to be consistent with quantum theory of gravity. This criterion is written
as $|\nabla V|/V > c \sim {\cal {O}}(1)$. In this work we consider a scalar
field model for Dark Energy namely the Slotheon Dark Energy model inspired by
the theories of extra dimensions and show that this Dark Energy model agrees
better with the Swampland criteria than the quintessence Dark Energy model.
