Couldn't able to write in swift, but in Objective-C below code is may be what you are looking for:

    NSString * str = @"Say Hello to My Little Friend";

    NSString * hexString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",
                         [NSData dataWithBytes:[str cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]
                                        length:strlen([str cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding])]];

    for(NSString * toRemove in [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"<", @">", @" ", nil])
        hexString = [hexString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:toRemove withString:@""];

    NSLog(@"hexStr:%@", hexString);

Above code gives exact string as you given:

5361792048656c6c6f20746f204d79204c6974746c6520467269656e64

Hope it will help:)
