Concept of swing in jazz?

I have a problem of understanding the concept of swing in jazz. Does it mean that you could elongate or shorten the time of each note according to your feeling at that time about that music. Because, what I have noticed in jazz is that the music that has been written is not exactly the one that is played? each note could be longer or shorter in the playing in each measure but the relative relation between each two is the same.
