Swap partition not used

Hey all
I'm using arch for a while now, but didnt really need my swap space, so i didnt notice until now.
My computer just don't use it's arch partition. I made sure it should by stressing the RAM (created big files on /tmp) , it just dont want to swap

I have dual boot with windows, and all my linux partitions are on lvm

my /etc/fstab
