Own client is first to confirm?

Simple question, I was just wondering if the client sending funds is always the first peer to confirm the transaction?

The client sending funds may be partially involved in that confirmation, but this responsibility is distributed throughout the BitCoin network.

Clients don't confirm the transactions....

Transactions are confirmed when they're included in a block

I mean when the client shows "seen by x peers", are the peers not clients?

Sure, but confirmations are accomplished only by peers that happen to also be miners (or mining pools).  There are no confirmations until a miner has included the transaction in a successfully solved and broadcast block that has been added to the blockchain.  "seen by x peers" tells you nothing about the number of confirmations received (or does it mean there are 0 confirmations, I can't remember?).
