Have a look at these rig disgrams, the swivel is the barrel shaped thing at the end of the rigs (barrel shaped with an eye at each end) the main use for them is to attach the hookling to the mainline to stop line twist and the hooklink coiling up on the cast

For anything pretty much, snap links are usealy used with feeder fishing or predator fishing though, not sure why, maybe because there abit untidy and with feeder or predator fishing things dont have to refined as much

 

Swivels are used to attach lines together and also to attach hook snoods to prevent them tangling. Swivels are incredibly useful items of terminal tackle as they help prevent the lines spinning as the rigs are retrieved through the water.
