Swimming for sure. Basically a life-saving skill, and adds so much enjoyment to life. A small portion of my friends still don't know how to swim and all they can do on vacation is sit with their feet in the pool...

Seconded on ice skating. Will really help them with their balance, and motor skills. Will make it that much easier in the future if they want to pick up other winter sports like skiing and to an extent snowboarding as well. A knowledge of how to balance on ice does wonders to learning other wintery things. If I have a kid, I'm gonna be one of those parents that brings their kid up the slopes at like 3 and throws them down.
