OP, you can get a stud finder at any of the local hardware stores. I then use a probe, typically a 1/16 inch drill bit to get the exact location of the stud, and drill the hole for the hook eye at that location. You need to follow the manufacturers directions so the swing does not fall down. Hope this helps.
