open the terminal windows.....the place where u write the commands.......type in there SMC .... u will see java based applet loading behind the terminal........a windows just like the one in windows with tree like structure........u will a node called user processes. click on that and u will see ur current running processes......

A simpler solution would be:

ps -eo vsz,rss,pid,args | sort -n

First column is virtual memory usage which is also know as swap depending of what definition you pick ...

You can also use pmap -S pid to see how much swap a specific process is using.
