Yes, Jeany, the Friendships stop at Swolphin.
In fact, Swolphin is part of the Disney Transport system, just like Disney's own hotels and all 5 of the Epcot deluxe resorts share the Friendships as the only transportation from hotel to Epcot and DHS. The truth is, it's faster to walk from any of the five to Epcot and often faster to walk to DHS as well.
For buses, Swan and Dolphin share all routes with Boardwalk. Yacht and Beach usually have their own buses, but sometimes, all 5 are combined.

(Meanwhile, we have another resurrected zombie thread!)

And reading these 6 year old posts about how badly in need of refurbishment Swolphin was. That isn't an issue today. They have both completed deep refurbishment projects over the last two years.
Ddoll usually stays at Swan and really likes it. I've stayed at Dolphin 5 times and Swan once and wouldn't hesitate returning. The biggest things that are drawbacks are the $14 nightly charge for self parking and the fact that you can't buy Disney MYW vacation packages or the dining plan.
