  hmm seems to me that u have integrity probs. can't swim and yet declare that u can swim? just because u wanna go ocs?
  just to put u at ease, my platoon had guys who can't swim and still commission. but after that, my friends confessed to me that it is v embarrassing to lead men in RCOs/ combat swims with a white tape over the helmet (to indicate that the person is a weak/non swimmer).

  i remember during my time, got a few hao lians can't swim but declare they can swim. during the test, all those who cannot swim will have their names taken now and are not be required to swim.
  
  then when it's come to those few hao lians who can't swim but declare they can swim's turn to swim, they end up struggling in the pool. with hundred of other recruits watching from the stand.
  
  point is if u can't swim just say so, don't hao lian, later end up humiliating yourself.
