Swindon's two goals were the first conceded by City keeper Reice Charles-Cook since making his league debut on 3 October.
Except for the penalty shoot-out in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat at Yeovil, the Sky Blues had not conceded a goal in their five previous matches.
Having gone 535 minutes without conceding a goal, Charles-Cook was within a game of beating the club record held by Sky Blues legend Steve Ogrizovic, now the club's goalkeeping coach.
Sky Blues boss Tony Mowbray told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire:
"At 2-0 up, and with less than 10 minutes to go, it should be finished. We'll have to use it as a lesson on how to see things out.
"We're all hugely disappointed. To draw the game feels like a defeat, of course, but we'll try to take the positives out of it. We'd worked really hard for 83 minutes, and I felt we'd done enough."
