It looks to me like the array has been created OK but has not been started. Try running mdadm --run /dev/md3, then mkswap /dev/md3. If it successfully creates a swap filesystem on the array after starting it, then you should be able to do swapon /dev/md3. There are others on the list who have much more experience than I with software raid, so they may have a better idea but that is what I'd be trying for starters.
