Porch Swing DIY Advice

I am currently working to hang a 4ft porch swing out front of my home (pictured). I was planning on the attachment site (pictured) being a joist, but after looking at the building plans (pictured), it is a triple 2'x12' beam surrounded by plywood and stucco. Is this a safe structure to hang from? I worry that mounting screws will split the pieces of 2x12 if I hit the wrong point going in.
