Opt out of AP Tests if no plans to validate?

It appears that the assessment is still the same, as per the Class of 2027 Cadet Swab Summer Handbook:

"Note: Additional information, including an audio recording for the cadence push-ups and scoring table, is available at https://uscgasports.com/information/PFE. If you do not score at least 130 points on the PFE at the beginning of Swab Summer you will be disenrolled. Additionally, your swim skills will be evaluated; the swim test includes a 100 yard swim, three meter jump, and five minutes of treading water. The swim test is used for evaluation purposes only and cadets will not be disenrolled based on performance."
 
I think @27BearDad description of the swim test above is right on the money. If you are an applicant that hasn't been in the pool for a while, now is the time.

I think Sophomore year 3/c you have to take the Red Cross lifesaving course as a mandatory PE course, so swimming matters at USCGA.
