quick question about swing sets

I bought a pre assembled wooden playset from a neighbor. It seems to be
redwood and only a year old. Is is not as dark as it was when they first
bought it, it seems to be drying out. What is my best course of action in
making this set last? Should I stain it again or should I just thompson seal
it?

A good oil-based stain, *designed* for redwood or cedar, is the ticket if
you want to preserve the red look.

Don't waste your money on Thompsons' Water "Seal" based on posts from
users.
