How to either? Either how to????!!!!

I would very much appreciate it if anyone with a good understanding of English grammar could help me with this question:

Which is better?
He wants to learn how to either drive or swim.
He wants to learn either how to drive or swim.

How about this?
He wants to learn either how to drive or how to swim.

Or this?

He either wants to learn how to drive or how to swim.

Thanks, if anyone can help me! I can't find a good rule to explain this. Very confusing.
