Are you saying that BAPTISMA is the subject of SWiZEI and ANTITUPON is a 
predicate of BAPTISMA?

The referent of hO is not so interesting at the moment as its syntactic 
relationship to ANTITUPON and BAPTISMA. (It more likely refers to the whole 
event of the preceding verse or water, as KIBWTOS is feminine, but this is 
beside the question.)

BAPTISMA is the subject "which is a correspondent [ANTITUPON] to" KIBWTOU.  
The comparison is thus made between baptism and entering into the ark.
