In route descriptions, I always thought "swing" should mean just that: feet off, then swinging to catch a hold off to the side (or, at the very least, one foot off), but it appears to enjoy a wider definition these days - pretty much any sideways move on big handholds seems to qualify. Here's an example of a swing on footholds, whatever that might be: Inch Pinch (6b+)

In reply to bpmclimb:
Swinging on footholds is clearly nonsense. I've always taken it to mean a gravity-assisted move to one side or another which is consequently really difficult to reverse if it doesn't go as well as you had hoped.

In reply to nniff:


It could be done hanging from the toes in a bat-hang, arms free - although I admit that's not very likely at 6b+

In reply to bpmclimb:

You try it - I'll watch

In reply to bpmclimb: I think the more worrying thing with that route is the need for subsequent levitation - surely that's way harder than 6b+
