Swap: Just checking?

Just checking that my concept of a swap partition is right before I go find out by trial and error that it isn't.

Do all distros treat a swap partition as virgin turf when they boot?

More specifically, if I have several distros on the same computer all booting from Grub, can they all share the same swap partition and play nice together? Or do some distros leave data in swap that they expect to have access to on their next boot?
