Now that someone brought up polyamory, I believe that "polyamorous couples are swingers and in fact are the orginal swingers from way back in the 40's from the time period that swingers became a lable for a specific type of sexual behaviour. Orginal swingers where the Air Force and Navy Pilots of the 20's and 40's and with uncertian futures where very open sexually with their spouses and friends. The groups of pilots and their wives would share each other sexually but did not stray from their Airwing sexually, which is how most people define Polyamory, it's manogamy, not between a couple but between several couples. The pilots, and spouses not stray from their airwing because of the deep seated emotional bonds they shared which is what alot of polyamorous couple say is the differnce between swingers a poly couples. The truth of the matter is that this was the first swingers relationship that slowly grew over time in to a more open type of sexual relationship. It seems there is a subculture in the swingers lifestyle community who wants to get back to the roots of swingers which was orginally a polyamorous play group.
Most everyone realizes that Polyamorist are just trying to avoid the "swingers" lable when in fact they are swingers i.e. they represent the first swingers community, so trying to avoid swingers is like and apple trying to avoid the fruit category, Most people realize this and are not fooled by some of the "attitudes" displayed by some "polyamorist".
I actually think that the mass majority of swingers would fall into a more polyamorous relationship if provided the opertunity and people they desire. It you actually read most of the profiles couples are looking for couples for a long, on going relationship. However, this doesn't stop them from swinging and fulfiling their fantasies in the hear and now. In other words I believe that most would be more polyamorous if they found the people the other couples or singles they where / are looking for. This is not to say they would stop swinging but they would spend more time with their friends having sex than the swingers club geting random sex.
