you are right labelling swap is not possible.

but there is a simple solution:
for example if your swap is da0s1b without the usb and da1s1b with usb inserted.
you can have swap entries for both devices in fstab. only one of them will work the other will print an error message and booting will continue.
also, since a b partition is never used for anything other than swap there is no risk.
