If user.profileImageURL is actually an URL, you have to download the image and assign that to self.swipeLabel.image .

To download image from URL, Please refer this post: Create a UIImage with a URL in iOS

If the image is already stored, the use the following code.

self.swipeLabel.image = UIImage(contentsOfFile: profileimageurl)
