Sometimes blurry is good!, would have been better if you had have panned along with your little girl and she was a bit sharper. However she looks happy and the blurring does convey the movement. Not familiar with your camera controls could you have manually set the shutter speed a bit faster? I see looking closely nothing in the picture is in focus or not blurry so wonder if you were moving about a bit as well!! lol Well done for completing your project!! looks like you were having fun and thats what its all about.

Sara. its great to see you having a go & to see the little one have so much fun. I think that the suggestion that Dennis made is a good idea, try panning along withthe camera, you may be supprised at how well the next one may improve.
Keep trying (we all need to - lol)

Thanks guys for your comments. I could well have been panning I can't remember but I took about ten shots of her swinging and this was the only one that was recogniseable.
I was also trying to take the shot without her realising otherwise I get really silly faces pulled at me.
The original picture looks a little better but because I have made the size smaller for here it does seem a bit more blurred.
Anyway it was a fun, sunny day. I will try for less blur on my next project;-)
