You will partition your drive so that each distro will
have its own partition. Your swap partition can be
shared by the various Linux installs - no need to
create a separate one for each.

Multi-booting can be handled by GRUB - pick one of the
Linuxes to be your 'permanent' install and whenever
you add another Linux install to your drive, setup a
entry for it in this 'permanent' Linux's
/boot/grub/menu.lst.
