So to the point:

I am loving the new swipe feature on iOS 13. I can swipe words incredibly fast and with great accuracy but admittedly in between swiping each word I have to go and tap the space bar. I’m wondering if I’m doing this wrong or if there are a an approach I may just be flat out missing.

I guess to go even deeper would be the usage of punctuations, which would slow me down a bit having to press the 123 buttonon the bottom left of the keyboard anytime I wanna use an explanation point or question mark.
 
You don't have to use the spacebar between each word. Just keep swiping your words, it will insert a space for you automatically.

I find Apple’s implementation woeful. Putting lowercase at the start of a sentence, uppercase in the middle. Predicting words I never use instead of learning ones I use all the time (fortune/forums a case in point). And probably most inexcusable putting an ‘s onto words where it can never be possible.

I just hope it learns my typing style (but I haven’t seen any evidence so far) and they continue to work on it.

i thought i was crazy. I can't STAND that it doesn't use uppercase words at the start of a sentence. that's rookie stuff.
 
This feature seems to have degraded for me since it first appeared in 13.0 beta 1. It is constantly picking odd words that I don't intend. One of the beauties of the iOS 12 and prior keyboard was its ability to predict fairly accurately what you mean to type. This one is offering up craziness.
