Resonant Switch (RS) model has recently been proposed as an alternative to the standard models of twin-peak high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HF QPOs) observed in low-mass X-ray binaries containing a neutron star. The model assumes switch of twin oscillations at a resonant point, where frequencies of the upper and lower oscillations nu_U and nu_L become commensurable and one pair of the oscillating modes (corresponding to a specific model of HF QPOs) changes to some other pair due to non-linear resonant phenomena. We test the RS model for the atoll source 4U 1636?53, where we assume two resonant points observed at frequency ratios nu_U : nu_L = 3 : 2, 5 : 4, by fitting the pairs of the oscillatory modes to the observed data in the regionsrelated to the resonant points. Among acceptable variants of the RS model the most promising are those combining the relativistic precession (RP) and the total precession (TP) frequency relations or their modifications.
