When you are at the bottom of a swing, force that swing exerts on you is equal to the sum of your weight and the centripetal force.
Fc = m * v^2/r
When you are at the bottom of a swing, you have your maximum velocity. So at this position, the centripetal force has its value. This is you feel heaviest on the bottom of a swing.
