It can be spelled either way.
Like Yoghurt and Yogurt.
There's just two spellings.

I used to spell it as swop until a teacher shouted at me for it! So now I always spell it as swap.

I always thought "swap" was the only way of spelling it.

Was originally swap as it's etymology lies in the word "swappen", but swop is also a perfectly acceptable alternative.
