Re: Swim tests

Bob - Our school has a "swim evaluation" that is a graduation
requirement. Students are asked to swim a length of the pool and tread
water for a specified period of time in sweatpants and a t-shirt. This
takes place on Freshman Orientation day. We sometimes have that one
student at the end of senior year who has not done it yet!

We are researching schools which may require that students pass a swim
test or a swimming survival test as part of a graduation requirement.
Is
it working and what are the pro's and con's. Thanks
