Yes, friction is demonstrated when you push a swing to start it moving. The friction between the swing's ropes and the attachment points, as well as the friction between the seat and the air resistance, helps to slow down the swing's movement over time.
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.
When you stop pushing someone on a swing, the swing will gradually slow down due to the forces of friction and air resistance acting on it. Eventually, the swing will come to a stop at the lowest point of its arc. The person on the swing will feel the deceleration and will likely have to start pumping their legs to keep the swing in motion.
While on a moving swing, you must overcome air resistance, the force that opposes the motion of the swing through the air. Additionally, you must overcome friction in the pivot points of the swing that can slow down your movement. Finally, you must generate enough force with your body to maintain the swinging motion against the gravitational force pulling you downward.
Friction of air normally called drag (or air resistance), it could be argued that gravity also takes effect in stopping the swing, if it was only drag the swing could stop ten feet in the air, and if it was just gravity it wouldn't stop due to the laws of mass and momentum. The drag reduces the momentum, therefore making the swing slow to a stop and gravity keeps it as close to the ground as possible.
The variables that affect the swing of a pendulum are its length, mass, and the amplitude of its initial displacement. A longer pendulum will have a slower swing rate, while a heavier mass will also affect the period of oscillation. Amplitude plays a role in determining the maximum speed of the pendulum swing.

Every time the pendulum swings back and forth, some energy is lost to friction. Friction with air, and friction in the supporting string or whatever. If you manage to reduce this friction (for example, reduce air friction by making the pendulum swing in a vacuum), it will swing longer. However, you won't be able to reduce energy losses completely; it may swing longer, but not forever.

when it cold and snowing the deer start moving and the rut is in full swing
Force of tension, exerted from the swing rope, keeps the swing moving in the horizontal back and forth motion. The force of gravity keeps the swing from staying at the far right or far left because it always wants the swing to be pulled to Earth, but the force of tension wants to keep it up. Air resistance, like friction, eventually slows the swing down to a halt.

absence of friction...no air resistance
air resistance and friction in the bearings
basically you just swing the wiimote and nunchuck around for a while. and you will notice that mason's hands will start moving alot when you do it.
If you push an object, it starts moving. Good examples (in the sense of not having static friction, which may hinder movement totally if the force is not strong enough) are a person sitting on a swing; or a boat in water.If you push an object, it starts moving.
