Oftentimes monkeys move or jump from one tree to another using their hands and feet. I am okay with calling it "jumping" but I wonder if there is a name for the specific kind of movement. Does that have a name?

That is called brachiation and they're brachiating or simply swinging.
Swinging is much more predominant than brachiating. Brachiating is more likely to be used by Primatologists.
