Any idea what I can use as a makeshift swing anchor?

One of the pegs that anchors our swing into the ground broke when we moved it the other day :(

Ordering online atm isn't the most brilliant idea so I wondered if anyone had any suggestions what we could use? I'm about to go rummage in the big tool box for tent pegs to try but am not sure they'll hold it very well.

Any ideas? :)

All I can think of is metal coat hangers. cut the hook off and cut the long part in the middle.
Not sure it would be stronger than tent pegs but would go further into the ground I think.
Might work if you can use a few.

I've got tent pegs in it for the moment, they'll do for now but it's not really secure.

I might have some 'u' shaped ones somewhere that might be better - one in each hole then into the ground - maybe.

I'll keep looking :)
