Array of Dictionaries causing Source Kit Service CPU overload

After some research i have found that the array of dictionaries I have created in my latest project is causing Xcode to run very slowly - due to Source Kit Service taking up all of my CPU.

After more research it seams one answer is to declare my array types when creating the array, however, I'm finding the array I've created too complicated! Can someone help?

Here is the array, it only has 2 indexes, Dictionaries that contain strings and arrays of more dictionaries.

let library = [
    [   "title": "Week 1",
        "icon": "week1",
        "backgroundColor": ["red": 255, "green": 204, "blue": 51, "alpha": 1.0],
        "day1Rest": "60",
        "day2Rest": "90",
        "day3Rest": "120",
        "day1": [["set1":"2", "set2":"3", "set3":"2", "set4":"2", "set5":"max (at least 3)"], ["set1":"6", "set2":"6", "set3":"4", "set4":"4", "set5":"max (at least 5)"], ["set1":"10", "set2":"12", "set3":"7", "set4":"7", "set5":"max (at least 9)"]],
        "day2": [["set1":"3", "set2":"4", "set3":"2", "set4":"3", "set5":"max (at least 4)"], ["set1":"6", "set2":"8", "set3":"6", "set4":"6", "set5":"max (at least 7)"], ["set1":"10", "set2":"12", "set3":"8", "set4":"8", "set5":"max (at least 12)"]],
