Swap usage

Hi

How to know if my linux is currently using swap or not, e.g.

Top:

Mem: 4041528k total, 3988108k used, 53420k free, 87912k
buffers
Swap: 2048248k total, 29364k used, 2018884k free, 2359168k
cached

If it is not currently using swap, how to check if it hit the swap
frequency?

Thanks.
