There's not really anything you can do about it not making use of the
swap at any point in time.

in available memory (the cached column) that it can make available to
itself for use. Not much point in going to swapping out to a slow disk
instead of tossing out some of the cached information.
So, as long as the Swap total column shows a size other than 0, you've
got swap space available for the system when it needs it.
