I have never been a great swimmer (I sink like a rock too) but I can swim, esp. with fins. I have snorkeled with and without a floatation belt. I vastly prefer wearing the belt even though I don't really need too. There are times when I will just rest stationary above a coral reef and watch the sea life move about. Having the belt removes one more thing I'd have to focus on.
No shame in wearing the belt to snorkel. Do what makes you comfortable and makes the experience enjoyable.
As far as lessons. Absolutely take them. But that is about life safety and a skill you would benefit from having. No one else really cares if you can swim or not.
