I would say it really depends on the people involved.
When I was 18 I definately wasn't mature enough to handle swinging, but then I also wasn't mature enough to handle a single monogamous relationship.
When I got married I was 20 and I was ready to handle monogomy, as it turned out I didn't have to handle it for long. Within the first year we were married we discovered swinging, so I was swinging at 21.
I do think that the couple needs to have a real handle on their own personal relationship first before they even consider it. And that it shouldn't be just an experimental thing like so many things are when we are young.
