Sorry you couldn't swing! Maybe they're planning to replace them? Who knows.

I can't swing for long or my kinetosis starts to kick in. (Caveat...I haven't read all of the article linked, but it explains it somewhat.)

I used to love swinging. But now (and past decade or two) I feel a bit sick on them so I avoid them. Maybe it’s kinetosis, maybe something else.
Still like gentle swaying in a swing though!

Yes, gentle swaying is fine. Anything that creates too much motion in my peripheral vision, though, puts me (my vestibular system?) out of whack.

Sorry that swinging is out for you Peggy and shorter for you Janet. I finished my orienteering today near a shelter with some swings, so I took advantage of the opportunity! It was especially fun because it was a windy day and the wind pushed me higher.
