Personal Life
Swann married his wife Sarah on 29 January 2010 and they live in Nottingham with their two cats, Max and Paddy. They have two children, Wilfred (born 17 February 2011), and Charlotte (born 18 October 2012). He also has an interest in football and revealed on the BBC's Football Focus that he supports Newcastle United and Blyth Spartans.
He is the lead singer of the rock band Dr Comfort and the Lurid Revelations which plays cover songs in gigs around Nottinghamshire.
On 2 April 2010 he was stopped by police in West Bridgford, Nottingham following a party and was arrested after providing a positive breath test. He was charged in June, to appear in court in August, and initially told court that he was on his way to purchase screwdrivers in order to rescue his cat from under the floorboards. Due to his cricketing commitments, the trial had several adjournments before he was cleared in February 2011, on the grounds that the blood sample with which he tested positive last April could not be used as evidence.
