Swing clubs are defined as any organization, formal or informal, which exists to provide swinging activities. Swing clubs exist in a variety of forms. These include Swing Clubs, Party Houses, Circles and Socials, Bars and Cocktail Lounges and Contact Services. All but the contact services may be on-premises or off-premises. Contact services work through the mail or telephone and rarely provide swing parties although they may promote group travel. Parties given by on-premises swing clubs may have from forty to eighty or more couples, though sixty couples is typical.

The arrangements include who is to be invited, the location, date and time. ​The on-premises party offers a wide possibility of social interaction, selection, potential of swinging with others in a foursome, threesome, one-on-one, or in a group scene. Bisexual as well as heterosexual swinging is possible, principally among women. And the club on-premises party offers this without pressure in a structured environment. Private, semi-private and group rooms are generally provided to meet the desires of virtually everyone. Heated pools, Jacuzzis and hot tubs may be available to accentuate the social environment.

Other than follow the rules, and as corny as it sounds, nothing is expected other than we want you to have fun, feel welcomed and comfortable. Here at the Pendulum we have developed a wrist band identification system which will allow you to declare your interest(s) and observe what others are comfortable with. We are really excited about this system and believe that this idea will become common practice in all other lifestyle events and clubs in the future. Below is the Pendulum Wrist Band Chart:
