I concur. It is unlikely that you will need/want to increase your amount of swap. You can monitor your swap usage if you feel that your machine is lacking, and increase it if the utilization is high.

I have 256MB ram and a 502MB swap, and want to increase to 384MB ram, [i know, i know it's an old machine]. I've read in the RH manual and else where that double the amount of ram is "right". If I want more swap but don't have any unpartitioned space left, what are my options? (I do, however, have lots of free space on my drive).
The advice that swap=2(RAM) dates from the time when RAM was expensive and few user machines had more than 64MB.
These days most people have plenty of RAM and thus require less swap space. I have 384MB RAM and a 256MB swap partition that is seldom more than 25% used.
