Dartmouth does, as NorCalDad said, have a swim test, but it’s really only about 2 laps in a fairly small pool. As for PE classes, you have to take 3, and they don’t count as classes as A2Wolves said. However, you can get out of them by being on a sports team, leading a DOC trip, being in a dance group, taking a health class, etc. If you do decide to take PE, there are lots of really great options - skiing and snowboarding at the Dartmouth skiway, canoeing / kayaking / etc. on the Connecticut River, forestry (chopping wood and throwing axes and such), weekend-long hiking trips, all sorts of things.
