A method of swing on a swing is disclosed, in which a user positioned on a standard swing suspended by two chains from a substantially horizontal tree branch induces side to side motion by pulling alternately on one chain and then the other.
A board swing which utilizes a pair of somewhat flexible side frame members which are interconnected by a top rail with this top rail being spaced from the supporting surface on which the side frame members rest. An elongated board is mounted by a pair of flexible side members onto the top rail by a pair of pivot means. The elongated board is capable of swinging longitudinally relative to the top rail and is also capable of swinging side-to-side toward and away from the side members. The top rail is pivotable relative to the side members. There may be included a safety member that extends between the pivot means that mounts the flexible supports onto the top rail.
