Clarence Adair Swenson (23 May 1923 – 28 January 2003)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood and Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Swenson came into the Collingwood team from the juniors and made one appearance in the 1941 VFL season.[2][3] He didn't play for the club again until 1946, due to his war service.[3][4] In 1947 he crossed to Hawthorn, when he spent three seasons.[3] He was captain-coach of Trafalgar from 1950 to 1954.[5][6]
