I believe the Freebsd traditionally mounts the swap as a completely different partition, usually B, like in da1b or da1s1b. This has the problem of resizing the swap amount easily but it does keep you from have to worry about cleaning, or much of anything. I usually do 1.5x the amount of physical ram and never have had to worry about it.
