Can space stretch indefinitely?

I heard that galaxies are receding from each other because the ‘space between them is expanding’. Does this mean the ‘fabric’ of space can swell infinitely? How? Why?

There is no swell, its the same amount of stuff spreading out farther and farther. If you put some powder on water then drop a rock in the middle the powder keeps spreading out, eventually in the example the powder hits the shore. But there is no limit to hit in space.
