My iOS app is nearly complete, but I read about swift's performance improvements in xcode 6.3 and wanted to take advantage. If I use the latest xcode but compile my app for iOS 8.1 (publicly available) will I have any problems submitting my app?

Xcode. Beta versions of Xcode include the latest toolset and SDKs for creating apps that run on upcoming releases of an operating system. Xcode betas are available to all developers on the download page.
One of the biggest reasons Apple releases betas of its upcoming operating systems is to give developers the ability to test their apps with the new updates. When you install a beta on your devices, remember that developers have not optimized their applications for the new features, and some apps might not work at all.
In Xcode, select Generic iOS Device as the deployment target. Choose Product from the top menu and click on Archive. The Xcode Organizer will launch, displaying any archives you've created in the past. Make sure the current build is selected and click on Upload to App Store in the right-hand panel.
I won't swear to this time, but in the past Apple has always required that submissions be compiled wit the most recent released (not beta) tool chain
The only exceptions have been to allow an older tool chain to be used for a brief period after a release (a few months) and to allow a beta tool chain to be used for early submissions aimed at major new iOS releases(7.0, 8.0, not 8.1)

App needs to be compiled with release version of Xcode.
I was already using Xcode 6.3 Beta, and it doesn't let me submit to the Appstore.
I would not recommend using the beta version of Xcode if you plan to release your app soon.
EDIT: You should also be able to use the GM or RC version.
