You can define Type methods inside your class with:

class Foo {
    class func Bar() -> String {
        return "Bar"

}

Then access them from the class Name, i.e:

Foo.Bar()

In Swift 2.0 you can use the static keyword which will prevent subclasses from overriding the method. class will allow subclasses to override.
