I'd agree with some of the other commentors' sentiments voicing that you should start out with Objective-C, but less so because of immature tooling. For me personally, I'd be more concerned about someone in your position trying to learn Swift now because it's an incredibly immature language. Core language-level changes IMO are the hardest to cope with, as they can have a severe impact on code written in a previous version of the language, not to forget how much of a mental cluster-f!#@ it can cause.
