“swing it”の意味は

BCのコメディ『Only Fools And Horses』を題材にして、ETC英会話のコリン先生のレッスンを受けています。

弟のロドニーが最後に仕事をしたのは、小学生の時の牛乳当番。それ以来働いていないロドニーに仕事を見つけるのは大変だった、デルは言います。こんな会話です。

“I have managed to secure you for a position with a newly formed security company! Now they did want a man with previous experience and, as your last job was a milk monitor, I did have a bit of trouble persuading them, but, however, I have managed to swing it for you.”

I have managed to swing it for you. I have managed to do the deal to get you the job. I have managed to get you the position. That is basically the meaning. I give you the sentence. Well, You have been trying to meet up with the person to do the business. But he doesn’t want anything to do with you. You will be OK. I have done it. I have swung it for you. I made an appointment for you. To manage to organize it.
