Have you ever heard of swishing?

Has anyone ever heard of Swishing, my mate has told me about it she has heard of it on the radio and was wondering if anyone knows what it is?

Thanks emily xx

    Check charities, Rainbows children's hospice organises these quite often in the midlands, although I've never been to one (I couldn't make it to the one they had in my town, but it looked great).
