What Benvolio means by Romeo's swan is Rosaline. Right now, Romeo thinks that Rosaline is incredibly beautiful, in the same way that people find swans to be incredibly beautiful, as they sail majestically around on rivers and lakes. But, Benvolio predicts, when they get to the party, Romeo will see girls who are much more beautiful than Rosaline and who will make him think she is ugly. Instead of a beautiful swan, she will seem like an ugly crow who hangs around highways eating roadkill.

No, Benvolio discovers why Romeo is such a sourpuss - but then it is hardly a secret. Romeo has the hots for Rosaline, but she is having none of him. Benvolio works out that Romeo is in love near the end of Act 1 Scene 1. He knows who it is by the end of Act 1 Scene 2: At this same ancient feast of Capulet's Sups the fair Rosaline whom thou so lovest, With all the admired beauties of Verona: Go thither; and, with unattainted eye, Compare her face with some that I shall show, And I will make thee think thy swan a crow. Romeo goes to Capulet's Ball because he wants to see Rosaline there. He doesn't know that tonight he will meet Juliet for the first time.

Why does Benvolio want Romeo to go to the party so bad?
Benvolio is fed up because his best mate Romeo is lovesick and complaining all the time that he is in love with a girl who doesn't love him back. Benvolio needs a way of putting Romeo off Rosaline so things can go back to normal.. So he tells Romeo that the Capulet feast will be the perfect opportunity to compare Rosaline with the other beautiful women of Verona and says Romeo's beloved Rosaline will look like a crow amongst swans. Romeo agrees to go with him, but only because Rosaline herself will be there.
