David Wilkie's parents came from Aberdeen, Scotland, but were stationed in Colombo, Sri Lanka, when Wilkie was born on 8 March 1954.〔〔(David Wilkie Swimmer Aberdeen ) About Aberdeen, Retrieved 5 October 2013〕 His family regularly patronised the open air Colombo Swimming Club where Wilkie learned to swim.〔〔(2013) (Colombo Swimming Club Official Web Page ) Retrieved 5 October 2012〕
At 11 years old his parents sent him back to Scotland as a boarding school pupil at Daniel Stewart's College in Edinburgh, and, while a student there, he joined the Warrender Baths Club, one of Scotland's most successful swimming clubs.〔 It was there that he began to train intensively and develop his specialist stroke, the breaststroke under one of Britain's leading coaches Frank Thomas,〔Riach, Fraser (26 September 1970) "Poised to join world-class swimmers: Sporting Scots 4 – David Wilkie", The Glasgow Herald, Page 8, A copy is also available on the internet at (), Retrieved 1 April 2013〕〔(1 February 2003) (Coach to Olympic legend dies in pool ) The Scpotsman, Retrieved 20 May 2013〕 whom Wilkie credited with giving him the motivation to become a world class swimmer.〔(June 2007) (Past Masters: David Wilkie, Scotland's Olympic Gold Medal winning swimmer ) In the Winning Zone, Retrieved 20 May 2012〕 In 1969, Wilkie was chosen to join the elite Scottish Training Squad organised by the Scottish Amateur Swimming Association.〔
