In Swift, associated objects are not directly mentioned in the context provided. However, the context does cover related topics such as classes, reference types, and memory management in Swift, which are relevant when discussing associated objects.

Swift's classes support single inheritance and automatic reference counting (ARC) to manage memory for reference types. ARC ensures that an object remains alive as long as there are references to it by incrementing and decrementing a reference count. This is crucial for managing associated objects, as it helps prevent memory leaks by deallocating objects when there are no more references to them.

For more details on Swift's features and design, you can refer to the session titled "A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design" from WWDC 2024. If you are interested in specific aspects of Swift's memory management or reference types, you might find the section on classes starting at A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design (11:58) useful.
