Swords were more convenient close combat weapons than muskets. The story starts with D'Artagnan being set to duel the 3 musketeers with swords, and then they have to fight their way out of being arrested for illegal duel.

Never read the book or anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do actually do their job as musketeers at some point.
