I've not heard of SWAP, but years back, I did a summer in France with AFS (if they're still even around)
The worst part of the trip, was staying with the host family -- words can't do justice how awful it was, and how awful this family was. But others had better experiences with it -- so I'd look into where you'd be staying.
