That's obviously a very subjective question. There are couples with rock-solid relationships that choose to do a little experimenting for a while; not like it's a choice for the rest of their lives. Some have some very pleasant experiences, and some - due to simple odds - do not.
There are couples that should never even attempt it, because of the liklihood of feelings of anxiety, jealousy, or self-doubt.
There are a lot of people who - because of their upbringing and religious beliefs - think that swinging is terrible.
Well, you know...different strokes for different folks.
If you want to make love in a pitch dark room because you're ashamed of your body, that's your business, and I'm not going to fault you for it.
If a couple mutually decides that they want to experiment, and they've talked it over, they're ADULTS and entitled to all the joy or pain that results from their choice.
We're all entitled to our opinions, but we could all do with a little less judgement of each others' preferences.

Most of them are "really healthy". At least, those that have been swinging for some time are. These are the ones that have a great marriage and a great sex life and swinging is simply an extension of that.
Then, there are those you hear about that it "wrecked their marriage". These are the ones whose relationship was already almost over and they used swinging to try to "fix" it. They honestly thought that having sex with others would magically fix all the things they disliked about each other. Then, when they ended-up getting divorced anyway, it was easier to blame swinging then to admit to their own faults that actually caused the demise of the marriage; like emotional immaturity and selfishness. It's easier to feed others your crap than it is to eat it yourself. In other words, it's easier to blame others, and other things, than it is to admit you are screwed-up and that is the reason your marriage fails.
Of course, this is also the reason that more second marriages fail then first marriages. Because they didn't fix what was the real problem - them - they just found someone different and then when things weren't they leave them too.

some ways its both. they show that they are not jealous and jealousy hurts relationships and in some ways its unhealthy because someone could develop feelings for another partner and that could ruin the marriage

I think it is extremely unhealthy. I personally would never be involved in that type of relationship.

depends on the couple - I've seen some that were very unhealthy relationshipwise, and others who are showing a healthy loving relationship where they enjoy exploring their sexuality together.
