IMO the trick to beating a Kassadin is by denying him early, no matter what you do, he will scale very well into late game, you just need to be able to shut him down for long enough to win the game. As far as Swain vs melees, IMO there are quite a few counters to Swain, Kat and Fizz are just examples. But, in lane Swain should do pretty well against a Kass, but if the Kassadin plays it correctly he should be able to farm, stick somewhat out of direct 1v1 engages, and not fall too far behind.
