Swinging is relaxing as swinging is a calming motion.
Swinging back and forth or swinging up high and fast is even more relaxing as swinging is fun and also releases endorphins into the body, which makes children and adults or anyone of any age feel happier and more focused.

Swinging is very good exercise.
When you swing it's both good exercise for your body as well as your mind.

Swing seats are made strong enough for adults as well as children.
The weight limit for swings depends on the swing.
Some swings have a weight limit of around 100 lbs to 200 lbs and some swings have a weight limit of up to 600 lbs.
The cheaper metal child swing sets usually hold up to 100 to 130 lbs before they start to bend.
The more expensive commercial type swings and swing frames can hold up to 600 lbs or more.
Wooden Play Set Swings can usually hold up to 600 lbs as well depending on how strong the wood is.
We have a wooden swing set in our backyard and I weigh around 150 lbs and I go on our swing with my children and have fun.
It's never broke or sagged or anything and the swing seats are made for both adults and kids and have a 660 lb weight limit.
I built the swing set to be strong.
The commercial playground swings are also built to be strong and hold adults as well as children so it should not be a problem for you to go on the swing if you're an adult.
