<p>Actually…I think that only 8 schools still require a swim test. Although…that’s an old number and I’m sure it’s changed.</p>
<p>There are sooooo many threads about the swim test. But since I have some time to post, I’ll give you a little of info about the test.</p>
<p>1.) Transfers are not required to take the swim test</p>
<p>2.) Guys and gals take their tests in separate facilities. Guys in Teagle and the gals are in Helen Newman.</p>
<p>3.) The test is easy. You jump in the pool and have to swim 3 laps (lengths) of the pool. One lap on your front, one lap on your back and the third lap is your choice. </p>
<p>4.) If you do not pass your swim test, you’ll have to take a semester of a beginner’s swim class. </p>
<p>5.) Just take your test during orientation and get it over with. If you take it anytime after orientation, you’ll have to pay a $30 fee. However, you can also opt to skip the test and enroll in the aforementioned beginner’s swim class. You will take the swim test at the end of the course.</p>
