I am getting the following error message with this current challenge: error: use of local variable 'months' before it

Not sure what I am doing wrong, any assistance is really appreciated.

months.swift 
let months = [1, 2, 3]
for months in months {
  if months == 1 {
  Println("January")
  };  if months == 2 {
  println("February")
  };  if months == 3 {
  println("March")
  };
}

when doing a for loop they should take the case of 'singular' in 'plural'.

let months = [1, 2, 3]
for month in months {
  if month == 1 {
  Println("January")
 }
if month == 2 {
  println("February")
  }  
  if month == 3 {
  println("March")
  }
}
