swapped

Traded one another

Swapped is the past tense of swap, meaning exchanged one thing for another.

Where trade suggests commerce and exchange sounds formal, swap implies a direct, often casual substitution: We swapped phone numbers, They swapped seats so she could sit by the window.

The swap may be temporary or permanent, physical or abstract.
