McSwain spent six seasons at Carlton after arriving from Merbein. He put together 25 consecutive games from 1926 to 1927 and played in a Preliminary Final in 1929, but Carlton lost to Richmond by a goal.^[1]

The next stage of McSwain's career took place in the Victorian Football Association, firstly at Northcote in 1931, with whom he appeared in a narrow Grand Final loss to Oakleigh, as a follower. However the next season he played in a winning VFA Grand Final, this time at full-back.
