We are 35/33. I was 20 when I started swinging (and my husband at the time was 27). There are younger folks around although we too find it hard to find people in our age range (both back then and now), and we do find that a lot of that does have to do with most couples our age having kids at home to deal with and more life committments in general. We don't have kids (by choice) and we can pretty well go as we please, with the only thing holding us back being vacation time (if the going requires more than a weekend).

But, it definitely begs the question, do age, experience, and length of relationship lead to greater success in the lifestyle? Or is it simply that for some, what might have taken 20 years of marriage to finally work up to could come more quickly to a younger couple today?

I think that maturity both in individual people and in their relationship lead to success in the lifestyle. That maturity may come faster for some than others. Some couples may require 20 years and getting their kids out of the house before they finally learn how to really communicate with each other and discover there is more to life than raising kids. Look how many couples get their kids out of the house only to realize they have NOTHING in common anymore and end up divorced. Communication skills are something that need to be excercized daily and the more you exercise them the stronger they get and faster.... so I guess to me it all comes down to that.... maturity and communication.
