i have been on a site called elite forces uk and reading about the sas and need to know some questions
do sas members specialise in recon and counter terrorism and can do both when called upon?
do sas snipers also assault buildings?
do sas members have to be able to swim?

YES!

I believe this has now become a requirement as to many members of the Taliban where escaping over rivers and lakes

I didnt think that they swam around, I thought they just called up helicopters to get them across rivers and streams

We're clearly talking under-cover/behind enemy line/spec op/Andy Mc Nab/sniper/co-delta force missions here, that even the president of the USA doesn't know about, Helicopters would clearly be to overt for the SAS... It's basics!
Trust me Tab, I’m a 17 year old kid who’s watched every You Tube video and SAS are you tough enough episode, I know my stuff

Of course they dont need to swim, dont be so silly. They simply WALK over any liquid obstacle or use the lines 'thou SHALT part....'
