to use as much ARC as is in use without the swap files being cached.. seems a
bit redundant?

There's nothing to explicitly disable caching just for swap; from zfs's point of view, the swap zvol is just like any other zvol.

But, you can turn this off (assuming sufficiently recent zfs).  try:

zfs set primarycache=metadata rpool/swap

(or whatever your swap zvol is named).

(you probably want metadata rather than "none" so that things like indirect blocks for the swap device get cached).
