No you can't if you want this you can do this in objective c and expose your objective- c code to Swift with a bridging header. Objective-C code:

inline void assemblyFunc() {
    __asm__(/*Assembly*/);
}

More info on bridging: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/BuildingCocoaApps/MixandMatch.html
