Encrypted swap/tmp in lvm?

I'm wondering if it's possible to create an lvm volume to use as
encrypted tmp or swap? I'm getting this error:

Cannot satisfy pre-depends for cryptsetup --key-file=/dev/urandom create crypt_dev_mapper_vg0-swap /dev/mapper/vg0-swap: exist_/dev/mapper/vg0-swap -- system left untouched.

Here's the config I am trying to use, am I missing something here?
