How essential is swimming technique prior to coming to buds? Would it be a good investment to get a swim coach, or should I just swim a lot on my own? Also, I get shin splints all the time running, and if you have any info on how to avoid those that would also be appreciated.

Pull up the screening test to get in = PFT
Then look at the Ocean Swimming requirements in the different phases.
Finally, what do the first two letters in SEAL stand for?
I'm not a SEAL, and I'm sure they can improve most peoples technique. However, the better you are a swimming, the easier it has to be for that part of training.
There has been tons of post lately on shin splints, use a search.
