Adventuring into any biome, I do the same. At the base I make 2 portals - Home and Swamp. I build a small 3x3 shack with a portal to Swamp - just in case there is an unexpected death. For the swamps specifically, I do a run in daytime and try to run and mark all the crypts and unlock them. Then I pick a crypt to start and build a second port to Home. That way I have a quick port back to unload non-metal stuff, repair my pickaxe and refresh the Rested buff. Port back and continue.

Recommendations - poison resist mead, decent armor, mace, bow/arrow and pickaxe. Mine the muddy piles just so you can see into the room. Shoot mobs with bow/arrow. Listen for flies - they are spawners. Make sure you take them out as well.

Enjoy your time in the swamps. I head back every now and then to some spawners I left active to gather their resources.
