Swenson came into the Collingwood team from the juniors and made one appearance in the 1941 VFL season. He didn't play for the club again until 1946, due to his war service. In 1947 he crossed to Hawthorn, when he spent three seasons. He was captain-coach of Trafalgar from 1950 to 1954. Swenson won the 1950 Central Gippsland Football League best and fairest award, the Rodda Medal.
