Your graph looks good. Swap is not usually a good thing.

Look at the color and height of the Memory pressure graph. low and Green is good, High and Red is bad.

Not using swap is a good thing. It will only use swap when you run out of memory to perform the current tasks with available resources.

Swap means going to storage instead of main memory. It would mean slowing down. Your fine.
