Thanks Jason.

You can't do this:

--recommended only works when the mountpoint is 'swap', it won't work
with raid mountpoints...
In general I wouldn't recommend building a raid for swap anyway, it
doesn't gain you much and the performance overhead for RAID will make
a difference in this situation, since you want your memory to be as
fast as possible. What I would do instead is...
part swap --recommended --ondisk sda
part swap --recommended --ondisk sdb
This will give you twice as much swap without the performance
overhead, and if one disk fails you can just 'swapoff' that partition
and keep running with just one swap partition.
