Raphael Rossi-Branco's second-half header gave Swindon a share of the points against Coventry.
The Sky Blues took the lead with their first shot of the game as Josh McQuoid forced his way past Wes Foderingham and slotted into an empty net.
Goalkeeper Foderingham did well to prevent the visitors doubling their advantage after the interval when he saved from Andy Webster's header.
Rossi-Branco headed the hosts level from Nathan Byrne's centre.
Swindon Town manager Mark Cooper told BBC Wiltshire:
"I thought we could have won the game. We went behind to Coventry's only shot in the first half after having numerous chances ourselves.
"We always felt as though we would get back into it and we did.
"I fancied us to go on and win it but I just felt the excursions from the game on Tuesday had really taken it out of us.
"I'm really pleased with the players. I thought the effort was incredible."
Sky Blues boss Steven Pressley told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire:
"I thought at 1-0, in the early part of the second half, we really had real opportunities to extend the lead, but it was a wonderful game of football with two outstanding teams.
"We've had a really hard start to the season, I think we've played the best teams so far and we've only lost one of our opening games, the players deserve great credit.
"The attitude is absolutely first-class and I really have a good feeling about this group.
"Overall, a good point for us, but I'm disappointed that we didn't win the game."
