The fitness test as detailed on the website will give you a good idea of the level of fitness you need to be at before joining. however this is a base level and I would advise that you get yourself ready for some challenging training sessions upon starting phase 1. In regards to the swimming, in phase 1 training they will try to teach you but it would help if you came with basic swimming skills.
