There has been no performance difference between swap files and
swap partitions for more than a decade.

You didn't respond to the part about /etc/fstab so we have no idea
if you found the information you needed.
Assuming you did find the errant entry in /etc/fstab, a sequence of:
1. swapoff -a
2. edit /etc/fstab to be correct
3. swapon -a
should change things to how you want them.
Thanks,
Andy
