when I was a kid, I was the skinniest little thing you ever saw.
I looped the swings...but I took gymnastics, too. The trick was that I had to use my legs, walking it across the top against the bar to stop the "chain slack" that Lar was telling you about in order to keep going 'round.
Of course, I was young, and no one had taught me about gravity then, so it was possible and I wasn't afraid. If you don't understand consequences, there IS no fear..
Needless to say, now that I am "old", I can barely swing high enough to get my feet completely off the ground without feeling my stomach drop out...
