English has a lot of influence from both Germanic and Latin, to the point where I don’t think it’s reasonable to classify it as a strictly “Germanic” language.
There are plenty of English words that can be traced to old Norse (i.e. Norwegian Viking occupiers, raiders, and/or traders).
It’d be more accurate to say they share the same origin. Swedish and English are both part of the Germanic language family.

Linguists disagree with you.
