It is my observation that only about 20% of scuba divers can actually swim well enough to be called competent much less accomplished swimmers, most cannot even do a decent dog paddle, which BTW is not a swimming stroke.
When scuba instruction became a commodity or venue to selling gear and vacation trips, to actually require a student diver to be able to swim went away. Scuba instruction today is simply a means of moving scuba gear through a retail outlet for maximum profit, if they can swim, great, if not who cares as long as they have a credit card with room left on it.
