The creatures can’t attack until you start a turn with them under your control. So you can’t swap and then attack.

You choose the two target creatures when the triggered ability is put onto the stack. You do not have to choose Chromeshell Crab. You choose whether or not to do the exchange on resolution.

2004-10-04wotc

The exchange fails if either you no longer control your creature or the other creature is now controlled by you.
