You need to declare the cell before your if...then logic, then return it after. You don't have to initialize the cell if you use var:

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    var cell: UITableViewCell!

    if indexPath.row == 0 {
        cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("imageCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as UITableViewCell
        // ...
    } else if indexPath.row == 1 {
        cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("segmentCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as UITableViewCell
        // ...
    } else if indexPath.row == 2 {
        // ...
    } 

    return cell
}

(Just make sure you catch all cases - if your return cell without initializing you'll get a runtime error.)
