Why do you want to? Except maybe if you suspend multiple distros instead of
shutting down,

That would be quite dangerous: if one system tries to open the other system filesystem, it will see it wasn't properly clossed and run an fsck on it. Worse, when you open again the first filesystem it expects a dirty filesystem with opened files, and finds thing changed, with very unexpected and bad results.

I know, because it happened to me.


The best thing is to use the same swap for all system.

I don't know any good reason to have more than one contiguous
swapper.

If they are on different drives, then it is a good thing: access is faster.
