Doesn't matter whether you can swim or not. If you fall into a water tank that is being aerated, you will hit the bottom hard enough to break your legs.
I have been to a treatment plant several times. Unless the tank is empty you arent breaking your legs. The tank is over 12ft tall. It will have at least 6ft of sewage water in there being aerated. It wont suck you down in the sewage. The aerators are on floats so you could hop on top of one. The guy most likely couldnt swim and drowned in shite and waste. Its some nasty stuff when you see how many condoms and tampons are actually flushed down a toilet.

The aeration introduces, well, air into the water. This means that what was initially just a tank of water has now become a tank containing a water/air mixture that possesses a density somewhere between what each would have independently. It might slow you down a bit more than air would as you fell through it, but you definitely wouldn't be swimming (or breathing) in it.
