Detect coordinates on release of a swipe swift with spritekit

Question

Hi if someone can help me with this that would be great!

I need to get coordinates of a swipe. I can get the coordinates of the initial touch from locationInNode etc, however how can we get the coordinates on the release point of a swipe?

func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
    touched = true

    for touch in touches {
        location = touch.locationInNode(self)
        print(location)
    }
}

This is how i get my initial coordinates, I have also done this for touchesMoved

override func touchesMoved(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
    for touch in touches {
        location = touch.locationInNode(self)
        print(location)
    }

with this code it does not print the final coordinate of release on touch.

Basically I would like to workout the distance between first touch and point on release of swipe with coordinates. Thanks for your help!!

Capture the state of the swipe, from began to ended:

let point: CGPoint = recognizer.location(in: recognizer.view!)
if recognizer.state == .began {
    print(NSCoder.string(for: point))
}
else if recognizer.state == .ended {
    print(NSCoder.string(for: point))
}
