Salt does dissolve in water. It is solvated by surrounding water molecules (which are polar) and surround the positively or negatively charged ions of the compound, thereby separating it and solvating it.

Salt dissolves in water because the Na+ and Cl- ion charges can be "muted" respectively by the highly electronegative oxygen-end of the H2O molecule and the highly electropositive hydrogen-end of the H2O.

The water is able to move between the salt molecules and separate them from each other - the molecules are not tightly bound to each other, they are in a crystalline lattice and that is easily broken apart by almost any energy (water molecules have some kinetic energy and that's enough to break up the clumps into smaller molecular collections.
