Another option for reliably identifying the swap partition is to use
/dev/disk/by-id/<identifier> to identify the drive by model and serial
number.  For example, my own swap partition is

     /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST95005620AS_5YX1NEGE-part5

That should be safe unless I re-purpose that drive and forget to update
/etc/crypttab.
