The emphasis is to improve running, push ups, sit-ups and swimming. Should I implement anything else or do some other form of exercise to help me cross train?

Looks good. Maybe you could do a longer run on Sunday, but only if you are not too tired. All half serious runners do a long run once a week and usually it is on Sunday.
Five or six miles is far enough if you have been doing 2x 4 miles a week regularly, plus some jogging / sprinting around in the PT.
I found a couple issues with the plan after experimenting with it this week...
1) Running 4 miles Tuesdays and Thursdays is probably not the best idea seeing as I have PT at work the following mornings (Mon-Wed-Fri)
2) I want to incorporate weight lifting into my schedule, but I cannot see where I can squeeze it in.
I would love another perspective and set of eyes on my workout plan. The only things that I do not want to remove is the swimming 6-7 days a week, and I cannot remove PT in the mornings (Mon-Wed-Fri) due to that being mandated by my unit.
Appreciate the feedback!

If your workouts are to help perfect your swimming, you are not doing enough swimming.
Too much time spent on running and weightlifting.
Now I do not mean too much time spent on running and weight lifting just not enough time spent on swimming.
