Depends which Swan Theatre you're talking about. There was a Swan theatre in Shakespeare's day, but it's likely that it never saw a Shakespeare play, because it was operated by the competition. On the other hand the Swan theatre at Stratford has seen lots of Shakespeare plays, probably all of them.
Before Set stages or theatres plays were normally preformed in pubs and such or large outdoor spaces. Play's were preformed durng the day to make use of natural sunlight. The Theater, the Curtain, the Hope, and the Swan all preceded the building of the Globe.
The Globe Theatre, where many of his plays were performed, is not so named for its circular seating around the stage, since all the previous oudooor theatres (the Theatre, the Curtain, the Rose and the Swan) were the same design, which was not in any event globe-shaped. The name is more symbolic. If "all the world's a stage", then this stage was all the world, the globe being another name for the world.
Several playhouses are associated with Shakespeare. Some of his early plays may have been performed in theaters owned by Henslowe. Some of his plays were performed at Burbage's The Theater and next door at Henslowe's Curtain. Some scholars surmise that Romeo and Juliet was performed at the Swan because of its upper stage area. In 1599, the company in which Shakespeare served as a shareholder moved into the newly constructed Globe playhouse, in which he also had shares, where the majority of Shakespeare's plays premiered. In 1603, the company also acquired Blackfriars, in which he also held shares, as its winter home. Some of his later plays may have premiered there instead.

Prior to building the Globe, Shakespeare had plays performed at a number of venues: The Theatre, The Curtain, The Swan, and possibly some of the Inn-yard Playhouses. Toward the end of his career, his plays were also performed at Blackfriars private playhouse. There are also records of performances in palaces, and in Grey's Inn (an inn of court).
The Swan Theatre
In the late 1500s and early 1600s when Shakespeare was alive there were no films. Shakespeare wrote and acted in plays which were performed in theatres such as the Globe and the Swan.

They were enacted at playhouses, which we would now call public theatres, and also at private performances for noblemen or at court (i.e. for the queen, not for judges). Some of the playhouses where his plays were performed were The Theatre, The Curtain, The Globe and the Blackfriars.
The largest was the Fortune, built in 1600. Next was the Globe, then the Swan. The Hope was built late in Shakespeare's time and was built to the same plan as the Swan.
