Play Value

The whole body is used here. Physical well-being is soon experienced. At the beginning it is not easy to understand what happens when two people swing on the partner swing. Enjoyment comes with the discovery that when one person swings, the other, without having to do anything, also swings. However it can also happen that in spite of great effort someone does not start to swing. And that only makes the enjoyment even greater when, with a delay dependent on the connected system of coupled swinging, the swing momentum returns powerfully. It becomes gradually clear to the participants that their own efforts return to benefit themselves later; they begin to feel physically comfortable with their own bodies and build up a relationship with their partner. The effect is so pronounced that care should be taken when partners of unequal weight use this equipment.
