I don't know how it helps with swimming, but I love it. So much so that I actually have a spin bike in my basement (and I've been cleared to ride it again - YAY :groovy:).
Like Fortress mentioned it is a great calorie burn. I also love that you can jump in to a class matter what level you're at - just adjust the resistance accordingly.
Morgan - you might ask the instructor if they would be willing to come in a few minutes early to show you how to set up and work the bike. I know the instructors at our club will do that. It's worth a shot anyway.
Wren....we ended up buying one as well....Ive been a big advocate of its usefulness for cross training for years...for me I can't "build the engine" via just swimming because of the two shoulder surgeries and spinning has been my "secret weapon" the last 5 years!
