Both players won their first service games but the Polish player then got into a strong rhythm, winning five consecutive game to take the lead.
Swiatek kept playing strongly in the second set, taking the first game by breaking her opponent's serve.
Arango then tried to fought back but could't maintain the momentum as Swiatek broke her serve again and eventually won the match.
After winning the match, Swiatek expressed, "It felt great - first matches are not easy to get used to the rhythm and it was a solid match. I am happy that I wasn't trying to overpower and I was solid," as per BBC Sports.
Swiatek will now face the Netherlands' Suzan Lamens, ranked 66 in the world, in the second round.
