well, first off i agree that walking on your knees at an old age would need some consideration ( im 17 so i am just talking )
but anyway swari waza is not walking on your knees it is doing throws while on your knees hence the "waza". this might be a art to art translation like tori and nage both same thing but diff words but when waza is applied it usually means your gonna have tecnige like ursiro waza. at our dojo we call walking on your knees shinkko ( she-en-ko) while swari waza is doing tecq

not to stab you at all tedehara and as I say it may be a art to art mistranslation. happy training.
