It will be part of a community clinic which the sport hopes can draw more fans away from those involved with rugby league and football.
Mid North Coast development coordinator Scott Dalton said the visit to Port Macquarie was an annual event, but one which was always exciting.
“They do it every year and go to mostly regional towns to give back to the fans,” he said.
“Most people up here don’t get the opportunity to see players like them, so any time they come here it’s good to see.
The Swans have run the different community clinics across regional areas such as Port Macquarie for the last five years.
“I think the main thing to get out of it all is that the Swans want to show they’re not just based in Sydney.”
A coaching clinic will be held at Wayne Richards Park from 3.30pm.
