Tall (high) swing set for a super-athletic tween?

We are getting rid of our play set (slide, monkey bars, swings, little fort) because one kid is way too old, and my younger kid is outgrowing it. That kid is very athletic, constantly in sports or deciding to run around or bike/skateboard and does use the swing. She wants a swing set (one or two swings only). But she wants something super-tall so she can have a large arc.
I googled, but I can't find anything. Where do I get something like this? TIA! |

| First off your "child" is to old for swings, second no one makes them because they would be considered to dangerous and attract to many lawsuits. |

Pfffft no one is too old for swings. Don't be rude pp. Op maybe look at the custom builders online. |

| If you just want swings, buy the A-frame brackets and some 4x4s. Make it as tall as you want pretty inexpensive. You can concrete the posts or buy the twist in anchors. |

| Do you have a strong tree in your yard? A tree swing with a long rope can have a good arc |

+1. I had a HUGE tree with a rope swing growing up and loved to swing through my teens. |

Agree. Try Cedarworks, OP. You can customize your set and get a tall tower and have rock climbing, a chin-up bar, and a swing. |

| OP here. Calling Cedarworks tomorrow. If that doesn't work, I'll see about the DIY. And yes, yes, of course, the trapeze class! Wow. Didn't connect that at all. Thanks, everyone! |
