Swingaround is a Canadian children's quiz television series which aired on CBC Television from 1967 to 1970.
Contestants in this quiz show were Toronto-area seventh grade school students. Quiz elements included isolation booth questions and "Who Am I?" segments. The National Telephone Quiz segment was introduced in the second season in which the host called a student elsewhere in Canada to participate with a studio team for several questions. Doris Tennant was the series' coordinator.[1]
