The Reds scored five unanswered goals but could easily have had double figures against a dire and seemingly disinterested Swans.
Swansea boss Michael Laudrup opted to rest several of his first-team regulars with one eye on next weekend's Capital One Cup final against Bradford City, but his plan backfired spectacularly.
Nevertheless, Rodgers's men showed no mercy and were ruthless on the attack, but the Ulsterman admits the Merseysiders can ill-afford to get carried away with the emphatic result.
"I am an optimist, you have to be, but we'll not get too carried away," he said.
"I've likened us to a marathon runner just getting ready for the finish line, ready to make our move, and then we trip ourselves up.
"That is something we have to change going forward for the remainder of the season and finish as strong as we can."
Rodgers added: "It was an important three points.
"We've had a bumpy road in terms of games Monday and Thursday but the Premier League is very important for us and we knew we had to show focus and determination.
"I don't think you can take anything away from the Liverpool players but it (the final) was something Swansea were thinking about."
