In addition to the installation instructions per swift.org, I also 
needed to install "libpython2.7-dev". When starting the Swift REPL it 
threw the following error;

...swift/usr/bin/lldb: error while loading shared libraries: 
libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory

Installing that package resolved that issue. However the REPL loads, it 
throws errors like this:

ubuntu-1604:~$ swift
Welcome to Swift version 3.0 (swift-3.0-RELEASE). Type :help for assistance.
  1> import Foundation
  2> NSURL(string: "http://swift.org")
error: Couldn't lookup symbols:
  type metadata accessor for Foundation.NSURL
  Foundation.NSURL.__allocating_init (string : Swift.String) -> 
Swift.Optional<Foundation.NSURL>

I've downgraded to 14.04 LTS.
