A swing is a type of understudy. However, they understudy for multiple roles rather than just one. Swings are usually used in shows that are ensemble based, such as Avenue Q.

What is the difference between swing and ensemble in a musical?

A swing person is actually part of the ensemble. However, on a performance that a featured performer can not perform, their "swing" person fills in. Swing people can learn and perform the parts of several characters in a musical. It is a great way to enhance your skills as a beginning/intermediate performer. Usually, in Equity Theatres, the "swing" person is usually announced prior to the performance, or a little paper insert is inserted in the musical's program, alerting the audience of the casting change.
