Newcomer Gabriel Jesus broke the game's deadlock in the 11th minute with a shot in the box from an assist by teammate Raheem Sterling.
The Swans equalized late with nine minutes left before full-time as Icelandic midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson buried a long-range shot off a pass by Luciano Narsingh.
However, Jesus saved the day for head coach Pep Guardiola's side as he scored the winner in injury to time to give City their second straight win.
