No...  When you create, or the install routine does, a swap partition or
swap file, that's the size it's created at.

Depending on what you use your computer for, you mayn't need to change
the size of what you're using.  If you do want to increase it, adding
another swap file is quite easy.  Changing partition sizes would need
you to have some spare space on a hard drive, either unpartitioned, or
being able to resize existing partitions.
