Swift has made it so easy to get started in iOS.
Apple docs are 100%

If you're looking for tutorials - raywenderlich.com
They have great beginning iOS and Android tutorials. Also paid training courses too if that's something you're interested in.

Feel free to reach out too. The SO & Twitter communities are great because mobile devs are incredibly hard to find.

The Stanford Swift & iOS class is a wonderful resource, especially with transition from version 3 to 4 promising to be less source breaking than the previous 1-2 and 2-3 updates. Available in iTunes U, you get video lectures, theory, and practical exercises.

Lynda.com has many courses and sample code. I am concurrently watching Swift Essentials and other courses to better understand the big picture of the language while following the Stanford course.

Also look at the free Apple Swift guides on iBooks for fundamentals.
