Learn Swift now, and then Objective-C later. I think one of the biggest misconceptions with the migration to Swift is that it will be a lot easier to be an iOS developer with no experience. After teaching new to programming students iOS development with both Objective-C and Swift, the actual syntax mattered very little - the underlying iOS APIs were difficult to understand. You'll still find that many API tutorials are written with Objective-C, so even if you don't code in that language, you'll need to translate in your head as you read how to hook up X or Y to Z. In addition, a lot of stack overflow questions for common iOS programming questions are in Objective-C, so you'll at least need to know how to read it.
