I think the definition of swinging has moved on over recent years. With the advent of the internet and the rise of swinging sites, it has become a different beast to what it was previously with contact mags etc. It now encompasses many different people with many different wants and many different things to offer; singles, couples, fetsters and kinksters, voyeurs, group sex aficionados, size queens, snow bunnies, coasting lifestylers (cheers @Admin ), fuckbuddies, FWBs, blancmange-heads..... OK, I made that last one up - but you know what I mean.
The standard dictionary definition is probably meaningless, in this case, as it takes a while for the bods at the OED to catch up on 'underground' language. I find urbandictionary.com more useful in these circumstances;
Swingers can be couples (married or not) or singles.
They have a sexually free spirit. Couples tend to be in love with each other, and only "share" each other sexually with others. Sometimes this means "swapping wives" sometimes it means "group sex".
Single swingers generally despise the dating process and would rather meet at swinger gatherings where it is acceptable and in some cases expected that sex can/will occur on the spot with whomever they meet and feel attracted to.
Not a perfect definition, but a lot closer than the official dictionaries.
