A childs height above the ground while on a swing?

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.
