Doc-
Listen to TS, there were more failures in my PrePhase (SFAS now) than anything else - over 40% due to swimming. ALL Teams swim, and work on water ops - train up now don't wait. Get in the pool, get in the lake, get in the ocean, get in the river - they all have their own personalities once you are in them at night dragging your ruck behind you. Tactical swimming is mostly core work - sidestroke, breaststroke, kicking with fins on your stomach and on your back- get very good, plus it is amazing exercise.
