From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]:
swap
swapped in
swapped out
swapping
To move a program from fast-access memory
to a slow-access memory ("swap out"), or vice versa ("swap
in"). The term often refers specifically to the use of a
hard disk (or a swap file) as virtual memory or "swap
space".
When a program is to be executed, possibly as determined by a
scheduler, it is swapped into core for processing; when it
can no longer continue executing for some reason, or the
scheduler decides its time slice has expired, it is swapped
out again.
This contrasts with "paging" systems in which only parts of a
program's memory is transfered.
