Tips for Playing as Swain with Caitlyn
While laning, try to use Death's Hand's piercing damage to damage opponents from a safe distance.
Vision of Empire is quite difficult to land on its own, look for skirmishes around the map where enemies may be distracted or crowd controlled so you can land it more easily.
If you're having trouble rooting an enemy with Nevermove, try throwing it at opponents when they are near their minions so the explosion surprises them.
Demonic Ascension may make Swain very hard to kill but he's pretty easy to get away from. Try building items that can slow opponents to keep them in range if their mobility is overwhelming.
Advice to Understand How Caitlyn Will Play
Fire 90 Caliber Net away from the opponent to close the gap or hop over walls.
Avoid using Ace in the Hole in large team melees as it might be blocked by the wrong target.
Make use of her Yordle Snap Traps by placing them pre-emptively to ensure that you'll have one off of cooldown during combat.

Overall, Swain sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Caitlyn. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Caitlyn helps Swain perform poorer in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Swain is paired with Caitlyn, he observes a barely noticable drop in his total damage dealt. This difference may demonstrate that Caitlyn doesn't help cover for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Swain is played with Caitlyn on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Caitlyn.
Additionally, when Swain plays with Caitlyn on the same side, he typically receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Caitlyn does a decent job of covering Swain in team fights.

Is Swain better when played alongside Caitlyn?
There is no top synergy for Swain that will always be his ideal synergy. Yet, Caitlyn is a relatively poor ally for Swain. By playing on the same side as Swain, she drops their win rate by -1.3% to 50.0%. This demonstrates that there is a bad bond between Swain and Caitlyn that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.
Caitlyn has a lower difficulty than Swain. That means you don't need to be cautious when lining up Caitlyn teammates to play with, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Playing cooperatively, Swain players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Combined, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
Conversely, by bringing Swain and Caitlyn together, you may not be giving your team a lot of utility. We recommend you have other champs on your team that fills this hole in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of your Caitlyn ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
