Describe this playground safety tip:
Kids love swings. Before you set your little ones loose on the swingset, be sure to check that:

1) There should be no more than 2 swings per bay (section between supports).

2) Swings should be at least 24" apart.

3) Swings should be at least 30" from support structures.

4) Swing seats should NOT be made of heavy, hard materials like wood or metal.

Other comments or suggestions:
When 2 kids are swinging at the same time, make sure they aren't touching or pushing one another.
