The energy of the swinging is converted into heat energy by friction.
Thermal energy due to air resistance and bearing friction.
It simply loses energy. There is no changing of energy. It is not changed into potential energy, because it has no potential to move anywhere. Potential energy is, for example, bringing a pendulum to close to its apex and typing it there with a string.
The energy changes into is Thermal energy because of the friction caused by it moving produces heat. [Hope it helps]
kinetic energy
A swinging pendulum will eventually stop because of friction with the air.
A pendulum will lose energy in two ways: 1. by friction with the air, 2. by friction in its supporting bearing. Both these energy losses will produce heat.

Because of the air resistance which causes the pendulum to gradually lose energy.
Obviously, it will stop after sometime , after swinging. It is because we cannot apply energy continuously to the swinging pendulum.
A simple pendulum will definitely not swing continuously in air. The pendulum would lose energy to its surroundings in overcoming air resistance.

As the pendulum stops swinging, its maximum kinetic energy (the initial energy at the beginning of the swing) decreases, and its potential energy increases. Once the pendulum stops, it will have zero kinetic energy and maximum potential energy.
