Here is a more correct Swift way to check if a segue exists:

extension UIViewController {
func canPerformSegue(withIdentifier id: String) -> Bool {
        guard let segues = self.value(forKey: "storyboardSegueTemplates") as? [NSObject] else { return false }
        return segues.first { $0.value(forKey: "identifier") as? String == id } != nil
    }

    /// Performs segue with passed identifier, if self can perform it.
    func performSegueIfPossible(id: String?, sender: AnyObject? = nil) {
        guard let id = id, canPerformSegue(withIdentifier: id) else { return }
        self.performSegue(withIdentifier: id, sender: sender)
    }
}

// 1
if canPerformSegue("test") {
    performSegueIfPossible(id: "test") // or with sender: , sender: ...)
}

// 2
performSegueIfPossible(id: "test") // or with sender: , sender: ...)
