On modern Fedora using a disk swap file is no longer the normal setup.

You can use the zram swap instead.

Once you have the zram swap setup then you can delete the swap LV and add its
space to your root.

You may already have zram setup.

What do these report:

sudo swapon
sudo zramctl 

For example this is what I see:

$ sudo swapon
NAME       TYPE      SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/zram0 partition   8G   0B  100
$ sudo zramctl
NAME       ALGORITHM DISKSIZE DATA COMPR TOTAL STREAMS MOUNTPOINT
/dev/zram0 lzo-rle         8G   4K   80B   12K      20 [SWAP]

On an older system I see both disk and ram swap:

$ sudo swapon
NAME       TYPE      SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/dm-3  partition 7.8G   0B   -2
/dev/zram0 partition   8G 256K  100

First you would need to remove swap from your /etc/fstab and reboot.
Then you should be able to delete the swap partition and grow your root
partition.
