Depends on what you mean by "back".
To delete it, do "swapoff" to turn off swap. Then use fdisk to
delete the partition, then remove the matching line from /etc/fstab,
then do "swapon" to turn swap back on.
You now have some unallocated space where you used to have a swap
partition. What you want to put in its place is up to you.

1. ! My swap partition blew off...
Hi !
By trying to retrieve too much (Usenet) articles, my swap
partition blew off (100 Mb)...
This partition used to be hda7, and when I fdisk /dev/hda, it
gaves me strange numbers for this partition, so I deleted it. Now,
when I try to fdisk hda, I have:
Using /dev/hda as default device!
Unable to read /dev/hda
When I boot, I have these messages when the kernel tries to
check the disk:
Jul 8 13:39:25 entropie kernel: Partition check:
Jul 8 13:39:25 entropie kernel: hda:Started kswapd v 1.4.2.2

SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=36933219, sector=0
Jul 8 13:39:25 entropie kernel: ide0: reset: success
etc.
Though the other partitions (hda5 and hda6) are OK, I can't
use fdisk to recreat hda7 or whatever, because I can't use fdisk...
What can I do, now ?
Thanks for any help !!!
