Capturing Swallows in flight can be tough, as their flight patterns are erratic, or so they seem at first. Once you watch these little birds for a while you start to notice a pattern to their flight, and you can start to track them, although it isn't easy.
Tracking is not the only difficult aspect of taking photos of them, you also need a lens with fast auto focus! I found that the auto focus speed of the Nikon AF-S 300mm F4D IF-ED was just barely fast enough to keep up with the Tree Swallow in today's image. None the less, after some practice I was a able to get a few in focus images.
