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 rai...

A swing with a sail is disposed between lines or chains from which the swing is suspended. The sail is disposed above the heads of the occupants of the swing when the occupants are seated in the swing. A large plane of the sail is suspended generally vertically, so that the sail's large surface area disrupts and moves the air as the swing moves back and forth, so as to create a cooling breeze. The sail is removably mounted to the chains or lines.
