full swing

At peak activity

Full swing describes activity at its highest intensity or peak operation.

Something in full swing has moved past warm-up into maximum momentum: The party was in full swing by midnight, Production is now in full swing.

The phrase evokes a pendulum or swing at the top of its arc—the point of greatest energy.
