Counterparties in a swap contract exchange risk for money.
The easiest swap to understand is the Weather Swap. You are planning a big outdoor event. You are charging admission to help pay for it, and you know if it rains no one will come. So you go to a swaps dealer and buy a weather swap. If it doesn't rain the dealer will keep your money; if it does, he will pay you the difference between your predicted and actual gate receipts. This sounds a lot like insurance, but insurance is covered by regulations much stiffer than swaps are.
