There's not really much point in using a swap partition. It's much more flexible to use a swap file so you can easily resize it if needed. In fact, you could keep the swap file in a Btrfs subvolume so that it's encrypted along with the rest of the system partition, and you can even enable hibernation using that file also. Though I don't enable hibernation myself because it's not compatible with the kernel lockdown mode.
