Comparing K10D that I have and K-7 I should say that getting in focus
pictures of my girls on a swing wasn't a problem. But then again I also
managed with K10D... In principle, though you are likely to know that
already, you should /anticipate/ and press the shutter release at
exactly the right time. It can be done with K10D but you cannot just
point the camera, compose the image and shoot away hoping that
automatics will automate the rest of the process.
I've no real life experience with Nikon and Canon bodies in this kind of
shooting, so I have nothing to compare with.
As to your problem I might suggest two things:
1. Take a wider lens. More dof and less focus throw can help you out.
2. Take a manual 50 mm lens, prefocus and practice until you can hit the
target with reasonable certainty. I think that will make you aaaargh!!!
way way way less often...

Aaaargh... that thing doesn't have front or back focus, it has effin'
wack focus... I just finished culling over 100 pictures of Mattis
riding a slow kids' carousel and less than ten are properly focused. I
shot images using both auto and manual focus point selection as I was
anticipating this. Please tell me the current models have more brains
before I am tempted to succumb to the yellow peril again...
AAAARGH!!!!
