I use next to the swap partition on the RPi3 a swap file.
You create the file using:

fallocate --length ?MiB /var/swapfile

/var/swapfile can be any path to a file, replace ? with the required size. I 
use 512.
Initialize the file using

mkswap /var/swapfile

If you need the swap space occasionally you can can use:

swapon /var/swapfile

otherwise make an entry in /etc/fstab like:

/var/swapfile  none   swap     sw           0 0

mount -a

will mount the swapfile right after creation, otherwise it will be made 
available in the boot process.

You can inspect the swap space using:

swapon --bytes
