Not sure why this doesn't work, but you can call the ping method yourself once the address is resolved.

A variable to tell you that you can start pinging:

var canStartPinging = false

The code that calls the ping:

let pinger = SimplePing(hostName: "www.apple.com")
pinger.delegate = self;
pinger.start()

do {
    if (canStartPinging) {
        pinger.sendPingWithData(nil)
    }
    NSRunLoop.currentRunLoop().runMode(NSDefaultRunLoopMode, beforeDate: NSDate.distantFuture() as! NSDate)
} while(pinger != nil)

The SimplePing delegate method to wait for before you can start pinging:

func simplePing(pinger: SimplePing!, didStartWithAddress address: NSData!) {
    println("didStartWithAddress")
    canStartPinging = true
}
