You should better not use swap at all, which eliminates all problems, especially on any system that has a decent amount of DRAM.
I have stopped using swap a quarter of century ago, and it was for the better.
I have seen swap advocates, but I do not agree with any of their arguments. I have encountered workloads for which the amount of memory in a computer was insufficient, so the OOM was invoked, but in all such cases I preferred to learn immediately about the existing problem and solve it by various means, e.g. increasing the amount of physical memory or reducing the amount of concurrent jobs, than to waste a lot of time because of not knowing why the performance was inadequate.
Ever since I stopped using swap everywhere I haven't had to deal with that really annoying situation where a server is still online but limping and you're hoping ps and kill respond quickly enough before the server falls over
