They are both correct English. "****" is informal (very mildly vulgar). The expression "sweep someone off their feet" is normally used figuratively, especially to refer to the arousal of strong romantic feelings in someone. I'm not sure whether you are trying to use it literally here. If so, I would advise against it because the figurative meaning tends to intrude.
