| Steve,
You are mixing up snorkelling and fin-swimming.
Snorkelling is what the old spear fisher used to do to stalk and keep and eye on their quarry.
Fin swimming is what CFT clubs insist you do a number of before they let you near scuba equipment.
TBH although useful there are far more important qualities in a diver than high levels of fitness, such as a full understanding of their equipment, the physiology of a diver and the ability to remain CALM in all environments.
Some of the best divers I have met would not be able to compete in track & field but I would not hesitate to accompany them on any dive.
Safe diving,
Midnight
