Hello.
I fully agree with @Fabio Cavalloni . Swaps are only important for non-intraday strategies. It is a minor figure or amount in swing based trading, which usually takes more than a day, if not always. Any strategy which suffers badly i.e. profit statistics decrease by large percentage amount due to swaps is more likely a fragile strategy and will break if in future swaps change a lot. Happened in past with JPY pairs. I always suggest traders who do backtesting to expect worst final profit statistics, to make up for swaps, commissions, spreads, etc, while evaluating their strategy performance.
Please note that there are some backtesting tools (if you search the internet), which do take in account swaps too in backtests. The nature of market is complex and there are always many factors to take into account to see actual performance.
Good luck
