Just get the value of your UILabel.text. After that saving it to a file should be pretty easy.

let file = "file.txt"

if let dirs : [String] = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSSearchPathDirectory.DocumentDirectory, NSSearchPathDomainMask.AllDomainsMask, true) as? [String] {
    let dir = dirs[0] //documents directory
    let path = dir.stringByAppendingPathComponent(file);
    let text = myLabel.text

//writing
text.writeToFile(path, atomically: false, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: nil);

Copied the code from this answer here.
