I believe a circus swing is the big multiperson swing that performers use to launch each other into acrobatic tricks. It has no catch point, so they can spin it an entire 360 degrees. Mythbusters did an episode on swinging 360 degrees and could only do it on one of these.
It is also known as a trapeze.
"Clown".... you already spelled it correctly. This is a test!

What are people who set up a circus called?
There are various jobs. Performers, barkers, roustabouts, and others.
These may be American terms, in England we generally use different terms (or used to because it is some time since I toured circus!).
'Performer' is little used apart from in the media, generally circus acts like to be called 'artistes' mainly, perhaps, because of the long association with the stage and Variety (called Vaudeville in America). They would freely interchange between the ring and the stage.
British circuses do not have Barkers or Roustabouts - these are generally on the fairgrounds here and separate.
Persons with touring circuses are called 'tenters' the term the whole show be they tent men - proprietors - or artistes. All became equal in a crisis many of which may occur during a season

What phobia is the fear of the circus?
I don't know that there is an "official" name, but following the Greek model of most phobia names, fear of circuses should be kuklophobia. Greek letters can be transliterated into English in more than one way, so other possible spellings would be kyklophobia or cyclophobia. "Circus" is actually Latin for "circle." The Greek word for a circle is "kyklos" and presumably that would have been their word for a circus except they didn't have circuses the way the Romans did.
