The second-rower has a wealth of experience which includes 38 Scotland caps, 136 appearances and a Pro12 Title with Glasgow Warriors, as well as over 100 appearances for his first club Newcastle Falcons.
Swinson, who has become an integral part of the squad is delighted to be staying for another year.
