We study if eternal inflation is realized while satisfying the recently proposed string swampland criteria concerning the range of scalar field excursion, vertical bar Delta phi vertical bar < D . M-P, and the potential gradient, vertical bar del V vertical bar > c . V/M-P, where D and c are constants of order unity and MP is the reduced Planck mass. We find that only the eternal inflation of chaotic type is possible for c similar to O(0.01) and 1/ D similar to O(0.01) and that the Hubble parameter during the eternal inflation is parametrically close to the Planck scale and is in the range of 2 pi c <= H-inf = M-P < 1 root 3.
