They don't exist until the story hollers back.

There are many characters which use swords but are not classified as swordsmen. For example, we have seen both Aokiji and Kizaru use (elemental) swords, and yet I'm sure most won't call them swordsmen. Supernovae Law and Drake both used swords as well as Rayleigh and I don't think they are swordsmen yet.
I just think we don't have enough information on this matter to form a sound conclusion yet.

Shanks went at the strongest man in the world with a sword and equaled his strike, he even learned how to use his sword with his other arm after his sword arm was bitten off by a sea king (IIRC). He has world top skills with a sword, you just don't do these things by having a sword at your side (its Common sense really).

Like I said he's a swordsmen until the story says otherwise.
