A girl swings on a playground swing in such a way that at her highest point she is 3.4 m from the ground, whil at her lowest point she is 0.5 m from the ground. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.

What is her maximum speed in m/s?
 
once again ...

change in kinetic energy = the opposite of the change in potential energy
