Swinging couples" are not practicing Christians.

What is the threshold for practicing though? Who defines that and what is it defined as?

They may go to church occasionally but apparently they aren't learning anything.

Do you go to church to "learn"? Or do you go to honor and worship God, Jesus Christ and their holiness?

People go to church for different reasons and I say that as someone who's gotten more religious over the years.

They need to look in the bible for answers to questions about morality

I'll politely disagree here and say that there is a lot in the bible that tells us is immoral and yet we do it every day.

But that's ok as we are all sinners and the only thing that counts here is that we believe in the concept of God and Jesus Christ and whether or not we are truly thankful for their forgiveness and we are saved.

too many preachers today don't preach about sin anymore.

I'll agree with you here.

A lot of churches have become defacto happiness dealers where people just come to get a buzz and then leave.

Biggest example of this is healing place church in Baton Rouge and that place is more like a hollywood production than real sermons about sin, why we need God, and what we should do to live a more holier life.
