    Hi, 

    Dr. Pina has a discussion here about shape files and SWMM 5  http://www.swmm2000.com/profiles/blogs/arcgis-data-into-swmm 

    where he has links to his inp.Pins program.  Of course, InfoSWMM because it is built into Arc GIS has a lot of tools for importing or exporting SWMM 5 data and results to flood maps.  I also have known many people who have taken the output of SWMM 5 and imported into Arc GIS - they may have built their own standalone tools  but it is commonly done.
