My system started using swap space even when there is available RAM:

$ free -m
             total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           3882        1004        2303          63         573        2598
Swap:           956         239         717

Can anyone help find the reason

To free up underutilized memory for disk cache.

prevent it?

Why? What problem are you trying to solve?
