Your swap partition ought to be mirrored already.  From a similar system:

0-11:01 djh@castor ~> swapinfo
Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity
/dev/mirror/gm0s1b   4167488        0  4167488     0%
0-11:01 djh@castor ~> grep swap /etc/fstab
/dev/mirror/gm0s1b      none            swap    sw              0       0
