Default Opinion on hanging a swing

Ok.. I know some of you will wrinkle your nose at putting a swing in a
tree but still need the info.

What do you think the better method is for attaching a swing to a tree.

1 Looped rope over the limb and tied.
2 Garden hose over said loop.
3 Use a closed eyelet screwed into the bottom of the limb.

Which would do the least harm to the tree.. Tree would be a huge pecan,
on a 12-16" diameter limb.

I'm leaning to the eyelet as being the best for the tree and safest
method. Only need one rope to swap out between a hammock chair and a
tire swing.
