If you're producing a jazz lead sheet (as the "swing" indicates), you're wrong. 

\tempo "Swing" 4=125

Merely indicates that the *style* is Swing while the tempo is 125. You could 
also write 
\tempo "Swing" 4=200
Which would indicate that this is a swing piece of tempo 200. 

Jazz tempo indications don't work like classical ones where a tempo name also 
implies a certain (narrow) range of bpm.
