"Promise" usually refers to something dad-to-day that you have told someone you will do. There is an expectation that once you promise to do it, you will do it.
Example: "I promise I will take out the trash before you get home."
"Swear" is like promise, but used for more important things. (It is a less formal word, so if you are in a work situation, use "promise" instead, as they can be interchangeable.)
Example: "I swear I will never hurt you."
"Vow" is reserved for formal ceremonies of commitment, like weddings. It is an official promise, often with religious connotations.
