It is very important when swinging to follow certain rules of etiquette. This will allow for both you and the other participants to have a more enjoyable safer experience.
If you are new to the particular swing club or party that you will be attending, it is always a good idea to speak with the host/manager prior to the event and find out exactly what rules they have for their events.

You should not attend a couples only event if you are single, and it is never considered ok to hire an escort to attend a couples only swing event with you. Furthermore, you and your partner need to decide whether you want to always participate together or if it is ok to have social time alone at a swing event.

You should never do something with which you are uncomfortable. It is always important to say yes only when you mean yes and to clearly say no when you mean no. Appropriate swing etiquette when turning down a sexual proposition is to simply say, "No, thank you." Do not give an explanation because it is unnecessary and often leads to more hurt than just a simple refusal. If you proposition someone and they say no, never pressure or coerce the person and do not ask for an explanation. The rule at all swing events is that consent is of the utmost importance and that all participants be willing participants. If someone pressures you after you say no you should immediately report this to the host/manager. If you pressure or coerce someone, you will probably be reported to the host/manager.
