Two bridge players getting through £1000 swap partners (5)

I believe the answer is:

swing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'swap partners' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'two bridge players getting through ps1000' is the wordplay.
'two bridge players' can mean two substitutions for 'bridge player'.
'bridge player' becomes 'S' (bridge players are North, East, South, West).
'bridge player' becomes 'N' (bridge players are North, East, South, West).
'getting through' is an insertion indicator.
'psw000' becomes 'wig' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'n' going inside 'wig' is 'wing'.
's'+'wing'='SWING'

Can you help me to learn more?
