If how I understand the question is correct, in Xcode, View -> Show Window Tab bar displays the parent tab with a '+' button to its right. To stop the storyboard from refreshing/loading each time when navigating to it, use the '+' button to create a new parent tab and maintain the storyboard in one tab while you work on the .swift files in the other tab. Hope this helps.
