What does Time-out signal mean?
A time-out signal is a pre-agreed, low-key phrase or gentle touch between partners that calls an immediate, judgment-free hallway check-in during a lifestyle event.
Loud DJ sets and warm lounge banter make subtle hints easy to miss at a club or hotel party. Before walking through the door, experienced couples pick one casual spoken cue — such as asking to grab sparkling water at the bar — and one physical cue like two light taps on the wrist.
Either partner can use a time-out signal at any point without justifying it in front of guests. Both partners excuse themselves politely, step out to a quiet hallway or patio for two minutes, and check whether they want to keep socializing, slow down, or head home together.
Honoring every time-out signal immediately builds deep trust and prevents mismatched pacing before a playroom is ever considered. See /guides/consent-and-saying-no-at-lifestyle-events and /answers/couple-check-in-signals-and-time-outs-at-lifestyle-clubs.

New member registration, when available, will be on the website and in the native apps; digital membership purchases take place in the native apps via StoreKit 2 and Google Play Billing. Existing members can continue using the website. At launch, member identity verification will run through an automated government ID, biometric face-match and liveness check by Veriff: from the current Veriff check JoinTheSwing never receives or stores the images — we retain the verification result, Veriff's session reference, a consent receipt and non-biometric review metadata. Members who verified through our earlier, retired in-house pass may still have ID, selfie or couple photos in our private verification-document storage, deleted when the account is deleted. The free launch list does not create an account, start a subscription or charge a card.
