If you swing at the ball on your serve and completely miss it, nothing happens. You simply try your serve again.
That surprises a lot of players because the instinct is to assume any mistake during the serve costs you the point. But a missed swing before the ball is actually struck is not considered a fault under the rules. The serve has not technically happened yet, so you are free to re-serve.
