Hi, welcome to BT and triathlon! It is indeed a wonderful challenge.

As for swimming, just basic swim lessons to learn the front crawl stroke at this point. After you can do something resembling a crawl and get across the pool, I'd look into the website (and all the videos/lessons/material) http://www.swimsmooth.com, possibly order some of their stuff as well (everything on the site is free, though, and good). If there's a Masters swim group or other swim club that you can join that would be great too!
