What is "swing" in cricket bowling?

I think I thought it was the same as "spin", but is it?
SO...are good spin bowlers also good with swing? or are they two separate skills?
 
Spin causes the sideways action of the ball after it has hit the ground.

Swing is where you shine one side of the ball in order to reduce the air resistance on that side, thus making the air movement around it smoother. This has an effect of making the ball curve in the air.

So swinging a ball isn't much different from normal bowling, but with a spin on a ball the motion as it's released from the hand has to be different, so yes it's an individual skill in itself.
 
josh said right.....
but most important thing is that spin must be done with slow ball (almost 75-95kph)
and fast bowl favors swing (almost135-155kph)
and yes a spin caused in a fast ball is called CUTTER
