I don't think you can make a clear cut distinction between any of the terms really. One man's (or woman's) swinging is another person's NSA.
However, the flip side of it is those people who class themselves as 'swingles', but as soon as they meet Mr/Miss Right they're off to be all vanilla. The swinging arena, albeit a place where many have met and formed long term relationships, is a dangerous place for people just looking to settle down into family life. But perhaps that's another discussion entirely? ;)

Does It Count As "Swinging"?
Warming the Bed
You're brave labelling people (singles) acting in the same way differently based on their gender.
In my mind it does not matter what gender someone is if they act a certain way you can create a label for that action. Whether that's "swingles" or "swinging singles" it does not matter.
It's the same kinda argument when we think of "sluts" and "studs" - and how our culture views them differently (which it should not?) lol . It should be the acts involved in how we see people, and not their gender?
........ But, maybe I am being to simplistic and missing the point? I suspect due to our culture, the experiences of single men and women and their tactics for connecting with like minded individuals are quite different when it comes to using this site, and other forums where they interact with swingers (or members of the opposite sex in general lol). So maybe it's not the act we are labelling here - that's just sex - but the social aspects surrounding it? - and it's here that I would have to agree that there is evidence of a gender distinction.
OP - you have made me think - Maybe you're not so brave after all, maybe more thought provoking? lol

I consider "swinging" to be recreational sex with a non regular partner, and between two, or more, people who (and this is important) have considered and are intent upon participating in same as a purely recreational pursuit.
So meeting someone in a bar then finding yourself in bed with them at the end of the night doesn't mean you were swinging. Might just mean you were easy :cool:.

Agreed because recreational sex between less than two people is called something else entirely!
I think in the 21st Century "wife swapping" has evolved and Wiki is pretty close with it's definition and description though they are very wrong with their start point, the 1960s was really the era when the lifestyle got it's own label over and above that of orgies.
The Romans are famous for their swinging exploits and orgies.
Personally I swing because anyone who actually knew me would never have sex with me
Wiki says:
Swinging or (rarely) partner swapping is a non-monogamous behavior, in which singles or partners in a committed relationship engage in sexual activities with others as a recreational or social activity. Swinging can take place in a number of contexts, ranging from spontaneous sexual activity at informal gatherings of friends to planned regular social meetings to "hooking up" with like-minded people at a swingers' club. It can also involve Internet-based swinger social networking services online.
The phenomenon of swinging, or at least its wider discussion and practice, is regarded by some as arising from the upsurge in sexual activity during the sexual revolution of the 1960s, made possible by the invention of the contraceptive pill and the emergence of treatments for many of the sexually transmitted diseases that were known at that time.
The swinger community is sometimes referred to as "the lifestyle", or as "the alternative lifestyle". The term "swinging" has largely replaced the older term wife swapping which has been criticized for being androcentric, for presuming that the partners are a married heterosexual couple, and for presuming that it is the male who is in control of the sexual activities. Additionally, the term "wife swapping" or "partner swapping" is criticized for not accurately describing the full range of sexual activities in which both singles or couples may engage, which is not limited to conventional sex with a person other than their regular sex partner.

Don't you mean sex without commitment? lol
I like this site (and other places like this) because it attracts like minded people.

I have had a few meets with single ladies through the site, some just that, meets, some leading to sex, very quickly in a couple of cases, our purpose was to do that. In as much as you can know by messages, photo exchanges and phone calls it was decided that we would play on first meet short of not 'feeling it' in person. Being one on one encounters you could say it was just straight sex but the way we got to that via the internet and a swinging site still felt connected to the idea of swinging, it's certainly the only way I've ended up nude on a bed or sofa with someone doing intimate things within minutes of first meeting them!
However it is still different to doing that with a couple in an MMF or any other variant to the one on one model. You see first hand what many do not ever see and you take part in things that make you part of something involving three or more people, an amazing exchange of pleasures, energies and sensations, when it works like that it is an extraordinary thing to be a part of!
