Wear a proper swimsuit, not beach shorts. Forget the snorkel. Swimming requires arm strength and flexibility in the upper body at least.
Each day swim one more length. When you can go far enough, then each day, swim a few lengths faster. When you can swim far enough and fast enough, you can complete the swim leg of the triathlon, three equal sports.
