What is the expected lifetime of swap page in pstorage?

I have a need to maintain current state of my device along with other parameters, including temperature and hours used. If I update my pstorage page frequently, like once a minute, it would seem that my swap page would exceed the 20,000 erase cycle limit in 1/2 year or less. I am trying to determine if I can keep different versions of a block of data and somehow retrieve the most recent block on next reboot to restore accumulated data and then when I run out of blocks I start over. This would lower the erase cycles but I'm still concerned about making sure I don't wearout the flash page, either for the frequently updated data or the swap page if I do frequent updates. Any suggestions how to prevent this?
