Discovered by me about two months ago, but I only now bothered to make a video of it. The performance on this video is a bit rusty, and also a bit wavering since I'm not certain on the loading trigger positions, but as a demonstration it'll have to do.
Saves about two minutes if done properly, I think. (obsoletes corpse puzzle/regular puzzle skip, Gaia cutscene/cutscene skip, Cerberi fight cutscenes and the fight itself, also the various climbing and grappling bits)
Since the Steeds can't be completed while swimming, it's advisable to end swimmingness before descending the elevator to the Siren sacrifice at the small pools which, uh, I repeatedly fail to plummet into myself. Oh well.

True, but not useful since you can't defeat him while swimming, nor end swimming anywhere nearby.

From what I remember, you couldn't either access or exit the room while swimming.
