Kids who go to Chicago have to learn how to swim too! Swim tests are held during orientation and if you don’t pass, or choose not to take the swimming test, you must take a course in order to graduate.They do have exceptions for religious reasons, and for lifeguards and certified divers. I guess they already know how to swim!! Chicago also has fitness requirements. You can place out of some or all of the requirements by meeting performance standards on the PE placement tests! Otherwise you have to take between 1 and 3 quarters of PE to graduate. My S finally took his 1 required class last quarter senior year. I threatened serious bodily harm if he failed to graduate because of gym!
