Looks like it's missing a couple swings.
I suspect:

I see "Give and Take" as "come forward, draw the opposite person back to
your side and swing them - in other words I see the swing as part of the
move, like the swing in "Gypsy meltdown" or the California twirl in "Dive
through". In the eponymous book, Larry Jennings says (page 3):
GIVE-AND-TAKE: The "swingers"," a man and a woman facing across the set,
meet, join free hands, retreat to the designated side of the set, and
prepare to swing. Unless otherwise specified, the dancers retreat to the man's
side."

Larry Jennings, originator of the give and take figure, would concur -- the
swing is part and parcel of the call. He would hold forth for a few
minutes, explaining that dancers should take their opposite's reciprocal
free hand, avoid entanglements with their current partner, and execute
movement together and backward in a zesty four beats to allow twelve counts
of swing time. And he'd mention that the dancer being drawn across the set
should offer a bit of resistance, but not too much. Ridge
