Swings

An all-time favorite for many. Swings are a popular choice for any playground setting.

The playground swing is ever-present in our memories of childhood, and rightly so. It provides one of the first breakthrough moments in our development. It’s where we moved from being dependent on pushing adult hands, to daredevil swing-as-high-as-you-can independence.

At KOMPAN, the playground classic has evolved from the traditional swinging seat into an exciting range. Today it is possible to join friends on the Bird's Nest Swing, or on the Cocowave Pendulum, or with the totally different experience of the Duo Swing where being solo becomes face-to-face fun. And speaking of face-to-face, the You & Me Seat lets two generations in on the fun.

Are KOMPAN’s swings just made of old rubber tires, hanging in a rope?

Definitely not. The closest you get to old tires on a KOMPAN site are the re-cycled granules safely forming the hidden base of rubbering surfacing. From a design perspective, the classic old-tire has been an inspiration for some of the many designs in a wide variety of swings.

Is there such a thing as a modern swing?

Yes. The technology of a swing is fairly basic but in recent years designers at KOMPAN have given it more than a make-over. They come in many different shapes and constructions, and are made from a range of carefully selected materials that are built to last. KOMPAN swings can be produced in infused pine wood, hardwood, Robinia wood or hot dip galvanized steel. The swing seats are made from comfortable non-slip synthetic materials with wood inserts, which are connected to the swings frame stainless steel chains.

What are the stimulating benefits of a KOMPAN swing?

Besides being extreme fun, swings contribute to important aspects of motor-skill development. For example when swinging, children train and improve agility, balance, coordination and spatial awareness. All necessary skills when judging distance and navigating safely in traffic. The swinging movement trains the arm, leg and core muscles, and the bone density when jumping off.

The motion of swinging requires younger children to anticipate cause and effect and managing rhythms. The height and speed of swinging trains children’s judgement of distance and heights. All these are important cognitive abilities that are crucial to develop through childhood.

Are swings just solo experiences?

Different swings provide many opportunities for social interaction among children. KOMPAN’s Bird’s Nest seat offers a spacious place for many children to stand, sit and lay, and is inclusive for all. When swinging on a Cocowave Pendulum swing children are required to cooperate and negotiate, while the open design allows for easy access. Swings are excellent facilitators of inclusive play and train important social skills.
