I have Swift experience (about 7-8 months for my own tvOS game) and I like the language a lot. It is not hard to pick up Swift. But to write Swift code with the same quality as my Objective-C code, I would need more experience. Which is why many clients preferred to pick up a more experienced Swift developers for some projects. After all, idiomatic Swift code can be quite different from idiomatic Objective-C code. Learning the Swift idioms takes some time. I think for a freelancer a client has much higher expectations than from a permanent employee. An employer doesn't want a freelancer to learn (much) on the job. The employers is paying for an experienced developer that can deliver on quality from day one. After all, freelancers are usually much more expensive.
