The simplest way to resize an UIImage?

In my iPhone app, I take a picture with the camera, then I want to resize it to 290*390 pixels. I was using this method to resize the image :

Swift 3.0 with failsafe option (returns the original image in case of error):

func resize(image: UIImage, toSize size: CGSize) -> UIImage{
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size,false,1.0)
    image.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height))
    if let resizedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() {
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
        return resizedImage
    }
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    return image
}
