They're tagged pretty well for the most part, but there's still a few mistags, which shouldn't be surprising with 1234 posts (swing) and 633 posts (slide). We could create slide_(object) and swing_(object) and disambiguate, if appropriate.

I'm not sure about using *_(object) for this (also, kinda just in general). "slide" is a word used for a bunch of unrelated items (off hand I can think of a kind of sandal, playground slides and similar, and projector slides).
Wikipedia uses Swing_(seat) which sounds good to use here.
for the other they use Playground_slide, which is fine enough for actual playground slides, but stuff like Evacuation_slide links back to it, which is weird to me. I'm not sure what would be better, though. slide_(transport), maybe? I dunno.

Swing_(seat) sounds very usable.
For slides, they could range from playground equipment, water park equipment, or maybe even a rainbow from the wiki's images
Hmm, for slide how about "chute" or slide_(chute) or chute_(slide)
Like chutes and ladders.
