When you use the Leaping Climber skill trick, you just say to your DM "I'm using a swift action to perform the Leaping Climber skill trick." Then you roll a jump check, and tell your DM the result. Then you roll a climb check, and tell the DM your result.

Jumping as a swift action is a special thing that Leaping Climber lets you do, as part of climbing. People can't normally jump as a swift action, but your character can because he has the Leaping Climber skill trick. You don't need anything else to do it. You don't need Sudden Leap.

Information on Swift actions in general can be found on page 92 of Complete Scoundrel. The text below is copied from the D&D system reference document. Complete Scoundrel should say the same thing.
Swift Action: A swift action consumes a very small amount of time, but represents a larger expenditure of effort and energy than a free action. You can perform one swift action per turn without affecting your ability to perform other actions. In that regard, a swift action is like a free action. However, you can perform only a single swift action per turn, regardless of what other actions you take. You can take a swift action any time you would normally be allowed to take a free action.

Immediate Action: Much like a swift action, an immediate action consumes a very small amount of time, but represents a larger expenditure of effort and energy than a free action. However, unlike a swift action, an immediate action can be performed at any time - even if it’s not your turn. Using an immediate action on your turn is the same as using a swift action, and counts as your swift action for that turn. You cannot use another immediate action or a swift action until after your next turn if you have used an immediate action when it is not currently your turn (effectively, using an immediate action before your turn is equivalent to using your swift action for the coming turn). You also cannot use an immediate action if you are currently flat-footed.
