I am not quite sure as to what it is that is worrying you. The whole purpose of a swap is to change fixed rate borrowing into floating rate borrowing (or vice versa) by finding a counterpart who wishes to swap the opposite way (provided obviously that it does result in an overall saving). So having both parties borrowing at floating rate will achieve nothing. Have you watched my free lectures on swaps?
