Depends on the swing... probably around a foot or two.
The question states "while on a swing" which I believe implies that the swing is in use and therefore in motion. At rest the swing could be at "a foot or two" but while in motion the swing would get exponentially higher with every stroke of the legs. The total height could not be figured without the height at the top of the swing and the length of the assembly ie.. rope, chain, vine etc...plus the material which the child sits on. And are we talking about height at the end of their feet, at the bum or head height. I've swung on a number of swings and consider myself somewhat of a swinger and I can say that on most swings I've been on they go 4-6 feet high.
The seat of a swing remains parallel to the ground due to the forces acting on it. As you swing left to right, gravity pulls the seat downward while the tension in the swing's chains or ropes maintains its horizontal position. The centripetal force generated by your motion keeps the seat stable, allowing it to stay level as you move in an arc. This balance of forces results in the seat being parallel to the ground throughout the swinging motion.

yes i think it does since one moment you can be going high then the next low and you can change is your going fast or slow
It is a poetic stanza.
The swing
Yes, pushing a child on a swing is an example of work in physics because it involves applying force over a distance to accomplish a task (moving the swing). This work is done against gravity and friction to overcome resistance and create motion.
Swinging back and forth on a swing involves periodic motion, specifically oscillatory motion. The motion repeats in a regular pattern as the swing moves back and forth around a fixed point.
motion of the needle of a sewing machine is what is the motino is this?
yes is motion
At the top of one of the hills, you are in horizontal motion, but your vertical motion is zero. Same for a child at the bottom of the arc on a park swing. Same for anyone at the highest or lowest point on a moving Ferris Wheel.
When the child is up in the air on either side of the climax of the swing, it builds potential energy to drop or swing back down towards the other side. When the child falls, gravity and the potential energy work together to make the child fall, and in turn, the kinetic energy not used for the fall goes into pushing the child back up on the other side. Say that there was no gravity involved in this situation. The child would only make it to the bottom of the swing, closest to the ground, because the amount of energy you store up in going higher cannot be amounted to greater as you swing down.
The child is using the principle of resonance. By pumping at the natural frequency of the swing, they are applying periodic impulses that add energy to the swing system, increasing its amplitude. This allows the child to swing higher and higher.
In human bipedal walking, "arm swing" is the natural motion of the arms swinging in motion with the opposing leg to prevent the body twisting.
A child sitting on a swing is an example of a balanced force. The force of gravity pulling down on the child is balanced by the tension in the swing's ropes pulling up.
Perpetual motion.
An example of periodic motion is a swing moving back and forth. The swing repetitively oscillates around a fixed point due to the force of gravity and the initial push given to it. The motion of the swing follows a pattern that repeats at regular intervals.
A swing pushed by the wind would exhibit periodic motion, swinging back and forth due to external forces acting on it.
