Among the players Swanstrom coached at Stratford was future NFL first overall draft pick Andrew Luck. Following his stint at Stratford, Swanstrom entered college coaching as a graduate assistant coach of quarterbacks and wide receivers at Redlands from 2006 to 2007.

Following his tenure at Johns Hopkins, Swanstrom began the first of his two stints at Penn, as recruiting and quarterbacks coach from 2014 to 2016.
      Swanstrom received his first head coaching position at Division III Ithaca College, where he helped lead the Bombers to a 32–11 record and three Liberty League championships over the course of four seasons of play (the 2020 season having been cancelled). Swanstrom returned to Penn for a second stint, this time as offensive coordinator, from 2022 to 2023. The Cornell Big Red named Swanstrom its next head coach, succeeding David Archer, in December 2023.
