I have always thought that your example is power settling.

A Canadian friend of mine explained VRS/SWP it this way (if it helps):

You could probably say that VRS is “settling with a bit of power applied” and SWP is “settling with lots of power applied.” One will happen with an empty water bucket, as you descend into the dip-site and the other will happen with a full water bucket as you prepare for a drop.
