Custom init() methods

How would I create a custom init method for a realm object? I have an enum for different unit of measures and would like to initiate the object by passing the enum to the object and in the init method, use a computed property

enum Measures {
    case firstMeasure, secondMeasure
}

class Distance {
    let measure1: Int
    let measure2: Int

    init(measure1: Int, measure2: Int) {
        self.measure1 = measure1
        self.measure2 = measure2
    }

    func passMesureEnum(measure: Measures) -> Distance {
        switch mesure {
            case .firstMeasure: return Distance(measure1: 0, measure2: 0)
            case .secondMeasure: return Distance(measure1: 0, measure2: 0)
        }
    }
}

something like that
