If you're a beginner to programming you would need to have a foundation in C and Obj-C before you can start with Swift. Swift is a new programming language created by Apple to make coding simpler yet more powerful. It borrows from many languages, mainly C and Obj-C.

It depends what the actual aim is - for fast results, just start with Swift and play a little around with it - you can get good results without too much further knowledge. If you want to become an actual iOS-developer learning Objective-C will give you a far better understanding whats going on behind the scenes - and will also improve and help coding in Swift.
