Can swift be used when learning the Basics Of IOS because that track is truly confusing and swift made it super easy to understand. The gentlemen that teaches Swift is better at explaining his stages, than the gentleman on the Basics Of IOS track.

A lot of people see Swift as just a new programming language but fundamentals of it i.e the Foundation and UIKit frameworks come directly from Objective-C which is why I recommend students go through at least the basic's of iOS development with Objective-C and build a simple app as is really will help you to understand things.
Regardless of whether Objective-C was yesterday's language I still see it as a viable way to learn and understand Swift.
