The Swing Set is an obstacle that first appeared in Season 2 as the fifth and final obstacle in the Qualifier. It was interchanged with the Fender Bender as the second post-Big Balls throughout the season.
It consists of two swings above the water that contestants must cross to reach the finish platform. They must attempt this obstacle quickly as the swings lose momentum over time.
It was replaced by both the Fling Set and the Shape Shifter in Season 3.
