I dont see where you're actually creating a swap area. You're just creating a file. mkswap man page.

Swap files cannot be sparse files. They must be fully allocated. If the system tries to write to a part of a swap file that wasn't allocated, the write error occurs.
Copying the swap file fixes the problem by fully allocating the destination file.
You can fix the original problem by creating a fully allocated swap file to begin with. There are a few ways to do that, but the fastest and easiest to integrate into your process is probably going to be:
fallocate -l $swapsize $flPtDev
