Swinging, like any "social" activity, runs in circles of people.
Higher end swing clubs tend to feature more beautiful people, younger, more in shape, and more into looking hot rather than just the fucking. At the other end of the scale is the more mom-and-pop type situations, where you will often find crowds running more in the 40+ bracket.
Some clubs and groups are couples only. There is a really big thing in the american swing community about not permitting single men, many clubs will not allow single guys to attend or will severly limit their access in the club, having areas reserved for couples and such. Too many of the single guys going to swingclubs have no clue how to get laid in real life, and have poor relationship skills. They come to swing clubs looking for the easy lays and the pile on group sex situations. Honestly, most of them give me the creeps.
I have attended a lifestyles (swing group) convention, and I learned much about the situation inside that group and it's members. I would say be observation that the average age of a couple in that group would be closer to 40 than to 30... there are exceptions to the rule, but organized swinging is mostly NOT a young person's sport in america.
Finally, it should be pointed out that operation of a swing club for profit is a business on very shaky legal ground in many cases. Things like licenses for alcohol and such are hard to get if your club allows (or encourages) sex on the premises in many states and counties in the US. Even charging money to enter can make them into a common bawdy house, which can also be an issue. In many states, swing clubs get raided and shut down for various reasons.
The result of this is keeping the swing lifestyle sort of on the fringes, in the dark, and just slightly out of sight.
