# How to Swap

Swapping tokens on HydraSwap is easy, fast and cheap. You can easily get started by following the steps below:

1\) Head to the "**Swap**" page. **Select the tokens** that you would like to swap from and swap to by using the drop-down menu. In the example, we are swapping from SOL to USDC (testnet tokens for demonstration).

2\) **Enter the amount** that you would like to swap.

3\) **Set your slippage tolerance** for this trade. In this example, we will use 0.05% slippage tolerance, which is also the default setting on HydraSwap.
