You need to set up proper log rotation calling "squid -k rotate".

The swap.state file should never be touched manually. It is not a log
file, it is the index of what you have in the cache.

Each time you call "squid -k rotate" squid compacts this file, pruning out
all old stuff no longer in the cache.

Henrik

I did:

/usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -f /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf -k rotate

and now I have a file swap.state.last-clean
of 0 bytes and the swap.state is still growing.

Forget what I wrote, the -k rotate was working well, I didn't notice
that swap.state passed from ~200MB to ~20MB.

swap.state is always growing, but each time you run "-k rotate" it shrinks
down to the current minimum size, then grow from that size.
