Or what about this? Tested this time...

enum Foo {
    case Bar
    case Etc
    case Etc_Etc
    case Custom(String)

    func asString() -> String {
        switch self {
        case .Bar: return "Bar"
        case .Etc: return "Etc"
        case .Etc_Etc: return "Etc Etc"
        case .Custom(let value): return value
        }
    }

    init(withString value: String) {
        switch value {
        case "Bar": self = .Bar
        case "Etc": self = .Etc
        case "Etc Etc": self = .Etc_Etc
        default:
            self = .Custom(value)
        }

    }
}

let a = Foo(withString: "Bar")
let b = Foo(withString: "Something Else")

print("a = \(a.asString()); b = \(b.asString())")

I guess more typing, and some room for error in the initializer, but it
does do away with the wrapper class.
