I don't.

Linux's memory management subsystem is really good. It's almost magic. And modern SSDs are really fast. So whatever swapping is going on in the background I really don't feel it.

It's basically an OS managed database. Instead of the SQL server doing the swapping to-and-from the disk, Linux does it for me.
