<p>No, University of Maryland doesn’t have a PE requirement. Come to think of it I don’t think ANY of the schools I applied to had a PE requirement. Seems archaic to me.</p>
<p>@DJpsu2015 ya thanks,my friends tried to teach me but gave up because I couldn’t float but I kinda learned by going on my back and it worked…I actually hav a pool in my apt building but never tried swimming I jus jumped around but back then I couldn’t walk all the way to the 5" mark but now I can.so I could do cannon balls without holding on to the edge for dear life.</p>
<p>I do want to learn but it feels weird because I feel everyone’s staring caz I can’t swim.plus I colored my hair and don’t want to damage it but it could always grow back.</p>

<p>Thank you. You beat me to it.</p>
<p>I can’t ride a bike because of balance issues (I was in physical and occupational therapy for it all through elementary school and they only stopped it because it wasn’t helping :/). But it hasn’t really held me back from doing anything as far as I can tell.
I can sort of swim but I don’t know if I know enough to be able to legitimately say I know how to swim or not? I can get myself floating on my back pretty easily and I can doggy-paddle, I took lessons as a kid, but I can’t handle the chlorine in pools without goggles so I never go underwater. Does that count as being able to swim or not?
I guess I just never practiced because I’m not comfortable being seen in a bathing suit by strangers or even friends.</p>
<p>Also, I’ve never heard of a college having a PE requirement. Mine certainly doesn’t, although I did take a women’s self-defense course here.</p>
<p>I think Case Western does, for example. And I’m pretty sure you have to take it there.</p>
