Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: a 'swing set' is simply a set/group of swings, which a learner who knows 'swing' (a hanging seat) and 'set' (a group of related items) can infer. This noun–noun compounding pattern is common and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner encountering the phrase for the first time would readily understand its meaning.
Etymology
Swing set is a simple playground name: swing is the back-and-forth motion and the word set means 'a group', so a swing set is a group of swings joined together. Picture seats on chains where children swing, and that whole frame is the swing set.
