Why Is Swirling Important in Titration?

By swirling you spread the base throughout the whole of the liquid quickly, so the purple colour will only stay if the total amount of base is dominant over the total amount of acid.

Why is it necessary to swirl while titrating?

It's important to ensure that the titrant is evenly combined with the titrand (analyte solution) and to avoid the formation of 2 separate layers, that wouldn't react with each other and would result in an erroneous titration.

Why is it important that the analyte is stirred during the titration?

In titrations, continuous stirring is important to avoid concentrated spots of titrant being added.
