Grag should be able to trade comfortably with Swain, especially pre-6, since he has high burst. If you're landing your barrels you should be trading better than Swain, even though he can E,Q,AA combo you, since you have your passive --- and W for damage mitigation --- for sustain while Swain doesn't get any sustain until 6. By 6, though, you should be farming with barrels so the lane should be in your favor anyway.
