Water training at BCT for the Army?

I go to Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri this winter for basic training. I was watching a video about it and there was a part where they turned a water hose on someone and another where someone in full gear jumped into a pool from a high board. I had assumed that would be the kind of stuff that the Navy and Marines do but they showed it in the Army training video. Is this something that everyone at Army BCT goes through or was it for a specific MOS and they just put it in the video?

I don't have a problem with it, I was just curious.
 
We didn't do any of that in Basic (18weeks of OSUT)... but at my second duty station we did "Drown Proofing" classes where we jumped into a pool with our gear on

and those who couldn't swim went into a kiddie pool for some other lessons
