There are two ways to get to this swing, but I am going to give you the route we chose which is the easiest and quickest way.
Park in the Birch Aquarium parking lot and if you can, park in the back of the parking lot.
You will see a small trail once you reach the back of the parking lot. Cross over the small bridge and then begin your ascent up the short trail. You will quickly see this La Jolla swing.
Unfortunately, these swings get torn down quite often, so if it is not there when you arrive try again in a few weeks as someone will build a new one,
For this reason, this La Jolla swing always looks different. You will see lots of different looks to this swing if you google it or see it on Instagram. Sometimes, people even repaint the swing that is currently present.
If you want this swing to yourself go at sunrise. However, I recommend going on a clear day. We went on a foggy day and were unable to see the view. But, I gotta say it made for some cool moody pics.
