What kind of action is it shifting a weapon from one hand to the other.

Let's say i have a character that fights with a one-handed melee weapon and a bucker. This more or less leaves the off-hand free.

Now, I want to make a thrown attack, so I shift my weapon to my off hand (? action), draw a thrown weapon (Move action) with my main hand and hurl the weapon (standard action). Then I shift my melee weapon back to my main hand to be ready for subsequent melee attacks (+ action).

So, in this case, what kind of action do I need to take to shift the weapon to and from my off hand? My first instinct is that this would be the same as when you shift a weapon from one-handed to two-handed (a free action, limited to twice per rond.) But it might also be a Swist action.

AFAIK, there are no handedness rules in PF. So you can fight or throw equally well with your right or left hand. So I'm not sure why you would need to switch.
Even if you did, it would probably be a free action. And the limit of twice per round sounds like a house rule. I don't believe there are any official rules on the number of free actions allowed in a round.

Both taking hold of a weapon and releasing a weapon are free actions, so passing from one hand to the other is the sum of two free actions.

I'm sure I've seen it explicitly stated somewhere (to do with clerics switching weapons to the hand holding a light shield to cast, then switching the weapon back) that swapping hands is a free action, but I can't find it at the moment.

What hand I use might matter sometimes. For example, if you are using a buckler.

Since the switching is a free action, use whichever you like (i.e. don't take the buckler penalty if you can avoid it), as many times as you like, up to the house-ruled limit on free actions.
