@Magnus answer, only then for Swift (2.0)

    let transition = CATransition()
    transition.duration = 0.5
    transition.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut)
    transition.type = kCATransitionPush
    transition.subtype = kCATransitionFromTop
    self.navigationController!.view.layer.addAnimation(transition, forKey: nil)
    let writeView : WriteViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("WriteView") as! WriteViewController
    self.navigationController?.pushViewController(writeView, animated: false)

Some sidenotes:

You can do this as well with Segue, just implement this in prepareForSegue or shouldPerformSegueWithIdentifier. However, this will keep the default animation in it as well. To fix this you have to go to the storyboard, click the Segue, and uncheck the box 'Animates'. But this will limit your app for IOS 9.0 and above (atleast when I did it in Xcode 7).

When doing in a segue, the last two lines should be replaced with:

self.navigationController?.popViewControllerAnimated(false)

Even though I set false, it kind of ignores it.
