I can't find anywhere that you take double the penalty for swim checks when wearing full armor. Does it apply in Pathfinder?

Nope, armor penalty has been more streamlined, it is the same for every dex/str based skill:

Any armor heavier than leather, as well as any shield, hurts a character's ability to use Dex- and Str-based skills. An armor check penalty applies to all Dex- and Strength-based skill checks. A character's encumbrance may also incur an armor check penalty.

Nothing different for Swim checks (more info here).
