Schwinn S20 swingarm failure

What is the possibility for repair or replacement of a swingarm cracked where it meets the pivot? I have seen this failure on similar designs and so have been careful with the frame. I also realize Schwinn was long ago sold to Pacific.

I enjoy the bike, and the whole dynamic saddle to crank distance doesn't bother me for the riding I use it for. I am open to repair, but can an aluminum weld repair be depended on given the high stresses placed on the frame connection?

Thanks for your help.
