creating custom tableview cells in swift

Question

I have a custom cell class with a couple of IBOutlets. I have added the class to the storyboard. I have connected all my outlets. my cellForRowAtIndexPath function looks like this:

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> UITableViewCell! {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as SwipeableCell

        cell.mainTextLabel.text = self.venueService.mainCategoriesArray()[indexPath.row]

        return cell
    }

Here is my custom cell class:

class SwipeableCell: UITableViewCell {
    @IBOutlet var option1: UIButton
    @IBOutlet var option2: UIButton
    @IBOutlet var topLayerView : UIView
    @IBOutlet var mainTextLabel : UILabel
    @IBOutlet var categoryIcon : UIImageView

    init(style: UITableViewCellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String!) {
        super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)


    }
}

When I run the app, all my cell are empty. I have logged out self.venueService.mainCategoriesArray() and it contains all the correct strings. I have also tried putting an actual string equal to the label, and that produces the same result.

What am I missing? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for all the different suggestions, but I finally figured it out. The custom class was set up correctly. All I needed to do, was in the storyboard where I choose the custom class: remove it, and select it again. It doesn't make much sense, but that ended up working for me.
