There is nothing to stop you telling a client that its swap directory is
in /home/swap and just exporting /home. As long as  nobody goes and hacks
the swap file  (you need to out 666  protection on it or  give  root
access to the /home partition), it works fine.  Of course, if anyone
knows how to  patch  the swap space, they could walk through your
security, but the risk is slight.
