The effect would be that the nearer the pivot you have the load, the harder it would be to move the seasaw. The nearere the end, the easier it would be.
fulcrum force and load
A seesaw in physics is a Class 1 Lever. One rider can be called the force, the other rider is then the load, and the fulcrum is between the two.
Moving the fulcrum on a lever will effect it by making it easier or harder to move the load. A lever is defined as a simple machine that consists of the fulcrum and a rigid bar.
A seesaw is an example of a first-class lever. The fulcrum, which is the part of the lever that does not move, is in the middle. The resistance, which is the weight (person) you are trying to lift is at one end. The effort, which is the force applied to the lever, is the person sitting on the other end.

fulcrum force and load
A seesaw would be a Class 1 lever. This is because the fulcrum(also known as a pivot) is in the middle of the load and effort.

first class levers have fulcrum at center and load and effort at extremes, examples are seesaw and scissor.

The magnitude of the effort is controlled by you, not by the distance of the load from the fulcrum. Moving the load farther away from the fulcrum has no effect on the effort. But if you want to leave the effort where it is and still lift the load with the lever, then you're going to have to increase the effort.
A seesaw is a class one lever.
