You can do this

import CoreLocation

after it add CLLocationManagerDelegate To your View controller class declaration header 

let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
    locationManager.delegate = self
    if CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() == .NotDetermined
    {


        locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
    }


        locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()

This delegate will called for location change

 func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!,
            didUpdateLocations locations: [AnyObject]!)
        {
      let location = locations.last as CLLocation
      self.locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
    }

This delegate will called there is problem in location Manager

 func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!,
            didFailWithError error: NSError!)
        {

    }

Hope it helps.

The fastest way will be to use 

 func getLocation() {
    locationManager.delegate = self
    locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
    locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
    locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()

    locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}

And get the lat and long from there
