I’ve done canoeing, fencing, and led a frosh orientation trip–those were my “PE courses.” They were all things I would have done otherwise, and are all extracurriculars (you cannot take PE in lieu of academics). The swim test is easy and takes about 5 minutes–you have to make it a quarter of a length of a pool without drowning. All the frosh take it together on one shot. If you don’t know how to swim, you can take the swimming PE course instead of the swim test.
