Into which conjugation/tense should these expression fall?

"By then, Diane WOULD HAVE swum 2 miles"
"By then, Diane SHOULD HAVE swum 2 miles"
"By then, Diane COULD HAVE swum 2 miles"

It's often called the conditional - although technically speaking the conditional is a mode (or mood), not a tense.

I forgot to mention that it's the perfect conditional
