Hi, 

Leaf profiles and  Switch profiles are same.

Switch profiles: Specify which switches to configure and the switch configuration policy.

The picture below gives a graphical “configuration” of a VPC and the ACI Policy Objects you would touch to bring the VPC to life.

Once ACI simulator is setup. 

In APIC GUI

Go to Fabric > Access Policies > Switches >Leaf switches >profiles -> Right click on profiles to create a new leaf profile(switch profile)

Choosing the Create Leaf Profile, starts the configuration of a leaf profile, also known as switch profile.
