When the pendulum swings up, it gains potential energy, but loses kinetic energy. Therefore when it swing down, it gains kinetic energy, but loses potential energy.
Kinetic Energy, the potential energy is greatest at the top of the swing's path! :)
At this point, at the top of the swing, the pendulum has potential energy. As it drops it loses potential and gains kinetic energy. At the fastest point, as the pendulum reached the bottom of the swing, it has kinetic energy. It then loses kinetic energy and gains potential energy as it swings up to the other side.
When the swing reaches its two highest points, its kinetic energy is zero because it is not moving momentarily, and its potential energy is at its maximum. As the swing moves away from its two highest points, in other words, swings, its potential energy decreases and its kinetic energy increases.
A pendulum swings back and forth with a period based on its length. When it is pointing directly down, moving horizontally with maximum speed, there is no potential energy; all the energy is kinetic. When it is maximally away from this position it has stopped and so has no kinetic energy; all the energy is potential. Thus at any one time there is the same amount of energy in a swinging pendulum but depending on where it is in its arc of motion there will be different amounts of kinetic and potential energy.

A swinging pendulum has potential energy at each end of it's travel (when it stops momentarily) This energy is converted to kinetic energy as it swings down and back to potential energy as it swings up the other way.
In a pendulum, the energy transformations involve potential energy being converted to kinetic energy as the pendulum swings back and forth. At the highest point of the swing, the pendulum has maximum potential energy, which is then converted to maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point of the swing. This process continues as the pendulum oscillates, with energy being continually converted between potential and kinetic forms.

a swinging pendulum has its potential and kinetic energy changing.when the swing is at xtreme position it has ma potential energy and at mean position it has max kinetic energy
There is Mechanical Energy. This Mechanical Energy equals Potential + Kinetic Energies. At the maximum heigh and with the pendulum set still there is the maximum Potential Energy (so Kinetic equals 0, and Potential Energy equals Mechanical Energy). When we release the pendulum this Potential Energy transforms into Kinetic Energy which will be maximum and equal to the Mechanical Energy when the 'rope' or 'string' that holds the pendulum is in the same direction as the acceleration, or force, in this case gravity. Then, and if there is no friction (e.g. air) the pendulum will reach the same maximum heigh that it had in X0 and the Kinetic Energy will transform into Potential, reinitiating the process but in the opposite direction. Hope i helped and sorry for my english. :)
A pendulum oscillates between two stationary points at the ends of its swing, with maximum speed at the center of the swing. So the kinetic energy is highest at the swing center where it is travelling fastest, and drops to zero at the stationary end points. The potential energy does the opposite, being a maximum at the ends and minimum in the center.

Hope this helps you . If the pendulum is long enough it can use the relative motion of the earth's rotation to store just enough energy to maintain a continuous swing.
