Have a look at CKRefreshControl, which you may be able to customize to your needs.

Answer 2

My answer is based on @Zaid Pathan answer but updated for Swift 4.

class WebViewController: UIViewController, WKUIDelegate, WKNavigationDelegate {

var refreshController:UIRefreshControl!
var webView: WKWebView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
//Your webView initializing

    webView.scrollView.bounces = true //DONT FORGET IT!!!

    refreshController = UIRefreshControl()

    refreshController.bounds = CGRect(x: 0, y: 50, width: refreshController.bounds.size.width, height: refreshController.bounds.size.height)
    refreshController.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.refreshWebView(refresh:)) , for: UIControlEvents.valueChanged)
    refreshController.tintColor = #colorLiteral(red: 1.0, green: 1.0, blue: 1.0, alpha: 1.0)
    webView.scrollView.addSubview(refreshController)
}

@objc func refreshWebView(refresh:UIRefreshControl){
    webView.reload()
}

Finally, don't forget to stop reloading:

func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
    if refreshController.isRefreshing{
        refreshController.endRefreshing()
    }
}
