Good morning….
is it safe to say that swaps are used mainly for long term hedging and all other techniques are for short term?

That is true (although more important (as far as the swaps we look at in P4 are concerned) is that they are potentially (although not always) a way of getting the borrowing we want (i.e. fixed or floating) at a lower interest cost.
