DURING TAKEOFF, THE ENG LOST POWER AS THE ACFT WAS CLIMBING THRU APRX 400 FT. THE PLT MADE A 180 DEG TURN TO LAND BACK ON THE ARPT. HOWEVER, HE THEN REALIZED THAT THE ACFT WOULD NOT REACH THE RWY, SO HE TURNED & LANDED IN A SWAMP AREA. AN EXAM OF THE ENG REVEALED THAT THE #3 CYLINDER HAD FAILED. NO FATIGUE WAS FOUND IN THE FRACTURE AREA. THERE WERE INDICATIONS THAT THE CYLINDER HAD FAILED FROM OVERLOAD, BUT THE REASON FOR THE OVERLOAD WAS NOT VERIFIED.
