I have 3 different installations on my system

But, at least in theory, the swap partition doesn't care about the Kernel that
you are using. Or rather the kernel doesn't care about the other kernels
that may have used the swap partition. Think of it as volatile memory.
You are all right. There should be no problem. Even if it would be a
problem, you can always place a mkswap in your boot scripts and
initialize the swap partition before makeing a swapon.
