The suffix '-er' indicates a person or thing that performs a specified action. Therefore, a 'swisher' refers to someone or something that makes a swishing sound or moves in a way that produces such a sound.
Imagine someone or something that makes a 'hissing' sound as it moves — that's what a 'swisher' does.
