The Swans picked up their first league win of the season at home as they beat Exeter 4-2 at the Vetch.
The visitors took a 13th-minute lead through Chris Roberts, but by half-time the Swans were firmly in control.
Kristian O'Leary headed home from Stuart Roberts' corner to put the Swans on level terms ten minutes after falling behind. Then Roberts went from provider to goalscorer as he put the Swans ahead after he headed Nicolas Mazzina's cross past keeper Andy Walker.
A minute later the lead was doubled as Matthew Bound fired in from the penalty spot after Mamady Sidibe was hauled down by Mark Burrows.
Barry McConnell gave Exeter some hope late on, but John Williams secured victory for the Swans when he netted a minute from time.
