A manually pushed swing comprising:
- a pole in vertical orientation that is anchored to the ground upon which a swing top is affixed with and can rotate thereupon in a horizontal plane in either clockwise or counterclockwise directions;
- wherein a concrete base is affixed about a bottom of said pole to provide further stability when said pole is anchored to the ground;
