At the fear of crossing you, I will have to point out that this is not a
redundant configuration.  I understand the performance hit, but
mirroring swap is so swap doesn't become unavailable ...

  ... and all of the pages with it.  ;)  

So while one can boot from a MD RAID-1 /boot filesystem (at least as
long as the BIOS can boot the correct disk/slice, and GRUB is in the MBR
of both drives), I cannot condone the practice of a non-redundant swap.
