Hello,

Frankly, I have never considered atime or noatime option for swap. I
think there is not much use for atime in swap anyway. Access time for
memory pages, this is another story. I guess some optimisation
algorithms make use of this information.

Ok, so not "everything", I only mount filesystems as noatime. :-)
