0 Back up all your data by booting from a LiveUSB and copy the data (on sda3 under /Users/YourName/ ) you want to preserve to an external HDD or USB flash drive
1 Install with an Ubuntu LiveUSB, following the official Ubuntu install directions
2 In the Installation Type screen of the installation you started in (2) above, choose the first option Install Ubuntu alongside them.
Ubuntu's installer will guide you through resizing the partitions; sda3 is the one you should resize to make room for the root and the swap partitions.
