OMG, I'm an engineer, and you guys are way over thinking this. Tie a rope to each tree, a tire in the middle, and let the kids have fun. If you really want a classic swing, connect a 4x4 to both trees and attach swing to it.

How much of a hill is there? It's best to swing out over the hill.

Or tie a cable to a tree on the hill about 10' high, other end to the house or a lower tree, and attach a pulley to a T handle.
