Well if none of it makes sense then the original netinstall produced a bad choice. For me, I don't know why it picked that text. Spun around and looked at another netinstall and it is swap swap noatime. Just checked the kitchen computer and it is swap swap noatime. Both are Deb 12 netinstall computers and I did not manually make any Fstab changes on either.
I guess I'll used the one on this computer that was set up at the time of installation.
It's been a long time since I manually added a swap to an install and maybe I should re-partition the swap file and manually set it up. I just don't remember how to add it. Partitioning is no problem for me.

The second one is good. The first one is bad, and a good reason for not using forum answers. See the fstab docs here. 'none' means that there's no mount point for the swap partition; 'swap' means that it's a swap partition. The 'sw' flags are a BSD hangover, related to the use of swapon, and may or may not do anything (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=647899). Of course, the UUID has to be correct for your disk.
In your original, the partition would in principle be mounted at location 'swap' (presumably a mis-print for '/swap'?). The trailing '2' means that the swap partition would be checked at boot time for consistency, which isn't necessary. None of this really makes sense.
