From 2013 to 2015, Swanson represented Melbourne in AFL sanctioned women's exhibition matches. In the 2016 series, she played for the West Coast representative side. She returned to play for Melbourne in the 2016 women's all-star exhibition match.

Swanson was signed as a marquee player by Greater Western Sydney in July 2016, ahead of the league's inaugural 2017 season. She injured her hamstring in the week leading up to round one, and consequently did not make her debut until round three.
