What's the correct way to say the action of someone playing on a swing?

Question

I'm doing an English assignment and came across the part where I want to tell the time I had an accident on the swing, but can't get my head to think of the correct word to describe the action of playing on the swing,

I've heard of:

• Swinging on a swing
• Swung on a swing
• etc

but they all sound wrong to me.

Answer 1

You can use "playing on a swing" or "swinging on a swing". "Swung" makes it sound like one person caused the swing to swing, either carrying a second person or not: "George swung me around on a swing." That construction would be correct, in that case.
