It is much easier to swim with fins on but the basics of swimming are necessary and a certain comfort with having your head under water for lengths of time is better. Trying to swim with your head under water but not so far that water gets in your snorkel, and just breathing through a snorkel for that matter takes some getting used to.

Snorkelling is fun. However if you so't know how to swim a choking mouthful of water if you go too deep, a cramp, being washed out to deeper water, losing your bearings makes a nice entry into your obituary but little else..Learn the full set of skills before you do something potentially deadly.
I've talked to many tour operators in action resorts who shake their heads sadly at the poor training given to snorkelers, Scuba divers, parachute kite fliers etc. before they set off for an afternoon of "fun"

Can you use a snorkel in the swim?
I don't think you can swim with a snorkel. You should ask an official if it is allowed. I personally wouldn't because the snorkel creates a lot of drag and will slow you down.
Do you need to know how to swim to snorkel?
Technically, no. A snorkel is merely a breathing apparatus that allows one to breathe while one's face is below water. You could use a snorkel while walking or crawling in shallow water. Still, it'd be a far better idea not to be in water deep enough to snorkel in without some ability to swim.

Where can you get a great leakproof mask and snorkel for swimming laps?
If you intend to do the crawl stroke, I find the mask to have too much water resistance to swim forward AND turn the head to breathe. You will find the head will just not turn. If you do not intend to turn the head (and use the snorkel instead), the mask may still have more forward resistance than you would like, tending to feel like someone is pushing the mask downward toward your chin. I would recommend goggles with or without a snorkel. It is possible to use goggles with a snorkel.
