They don't swap.

A king and a Rook can swap, it is called Castle.

You can only castle when there are no pieces between them, and there are no attacks the king would need to pass through or land in.

You can't castle if your King is in check.

The Rook may travel through an attack, or out of an attack.

The king may not have been moved, nor the Rook you wish to castle with.

King moves 2 squares right or left to same color, and the Rook will follow after you hit move.

If you do want to trade King and Queen for some reason, you need to set up a game using the start position feature.
