swimming isn't needed, if you dive you better know how to swim.
This made up on the fly swim test standard is not a measure of cardio vascular fitness all it does is show that someone is a good swimmer.
It is not even a good measure of fitness if someone a good/trained swimmer compared to the average guy the good/trained swimmer is going to complete the "test" better than the average swimmer even if the average swimmer is in better physical condition.
