When I went thru (from Nov to March last year) it went like this: while you were in the division the RDCs would try to send you to try your swim again everyday in the early morning if there was nothing important going on.
They kept track of your tries, but no one got asmo'ed for having too many. If you didn't pass by the day of battlestations, you would be asmo'ed and your 16 last tries would start.
But I can't guarantee that's accurate anymore. The deal with the prone float is that people panic and give up. You have to convince them that they can do it.
