How do you preload banner iAds in Swift?

I just integrated iAds into my app and they work perfectly. The only problem is that there is a delay on the page before the ad shows up. I'd like to preload the ads as soon as the app is launched. I have one medium rectangle ad and one regular banner ad (on different views in the app).

Medium rectangle is loaded on viewDidLoad() of ReadingVC.swift like this:

var rectangleAdView = ADBannerView(adType: ADAdType.MediumRectangle)

// Show banner ad
rectangleAdView?.delegate = self

With the following functions:

func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
    println("bannerViewDidLoadAd - Ad shown on app")
    self.view.addSubview(banner)
    self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError
    error: NSError!) {
        banner.removeFromSuperview()
        self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}

The regular banner is loaded on viewDidLoad() of LibraryVC.swift in the same fashion, just with ADAdType.Banner instead of ADAdType.MediumRectangle

How can this be done?

There will always be a bit of a delay because the application has to grab the ads from the iAd CDN. Now, if you have a view that shows before either ReadingVC and LibraryVC, you can always try to load the ads there beforehand. To do this, you'd probably need to create a separate singleton class to hold all of your iAd code, and then access that class from all of the places you need to display or try to preload an iAd.
