It can be done using Xcode, Go to Xcode->Preferences->Components-> Toolchains section and Select the Swift. 3.1. 1 snapshot, this will set the new Swift version for the local Xcode. You may need to restart Xcode.
The “Swift Language Version” (SWIFT_VERSION) build setting must be set to a supported value for targets which use Swift. Supported values are: 4.0, 4.2, 5.0. This setting can be set in the build settings editor. #3932.
Xcode 12 contains the next Swift update bundled, version 5.3. The more the Swift language advances, the more features we all get, resulting to better, safer, clearer and more robust code. Once again Swift brings improvements that most of them will be proved useful to all developers.
Answer to your question:
You can download Xcode 8.x from Apple Download Portal or Download Xcode 8.3.3 (or see: Where to download older version of Xcode), if you've premium developer account (apple id). You can install & work with both Xcode 9 and Xcode 8.x in single (mac) system. (Make sure you've Command Line Tools supporting both version of Xcode, to work with terminal (see: How to install 'Command Line Tool'))
Hint: How to migrate your code Xcode 9 compatible Swift versions (Swift 3.2 or 4)
Xcode 9 allows conversion/migration from Swift 3.0 to Swift 3.2/4.0 only. So if current version of Swift language of your project is below 3.0 then you must migrate your code in Swift 3 compatible version Using Xcode 8.x.
This is common error message that Xcode 9 shows if it identifies Swift language below 3.0, during migration.
Swift 3.2 is supported by Xcode 9 & Xcode 8 both.
Project ► (Select Your Project Target) ► Build Settings ► (Type 'swift' in Searchbar) Swift Compiler Language ► Swift Language Version ► Click on Language list to open it.
Convert your source code from Swift 2.0 to 3.2 using Xcode 8 and then continue with Xcode 9 (Swift 3.2 or 4).
For easier migration of your code, follow these steps: (it will help you to convert into latest version of swift supported by your Xcode Tool)

For Objective C Projects created using Xcode 8 and now opening in Xcode 9, it is showing the same error as mentioned in the question.
To fix that, Press the + button in Build Settings and select Add User-Defined Setting as shown in the image below
Then in the new row created add SWIFT_VERSION as key and 3.2 as value like below.
It will fix the error for objective c projects.
I just got this after creating a new Objective-C project in Xcode 10, after I added a Core Data model file to the project.
I found two ways to fix this:
The model contains a "contents" file with this line:
<model type="com.apple.IDECoreDataModeler.DataModel" documentVersion="1.0" lastSavedToolsVersion="14460.32" systemVersion="17G5019" minimumToolsVersion="Automatic" sourceLanguage="Swift" userDefinedModelVersionIdentifier="">
In there is a sourceLanguage="Swift" entry. Change it to sourceLanguage="Objective-C" and the error goes away.
To find the "contents" file, right click on the .xcdatamodeld in Xcode and do "Show in Finder". Right-click on the actual (Finder) file and do "Show Package Contents"
Also: Changing the model's language will stop Xcode from generating managed object subclass files in Swift.
This can happen when you added Core Data to an existing project.
Check the:
<Name>/<Name>.xcdatamodeld/<Name>.xcdatamodel/contents
file.
This file contains an entry "sourceLanguage" that (by default) might have been set to "Swift". Change it to "Objective-C".
