Dear Student,
I'm very excited to welcome you to campus! I wanted to share logistical information for the swim test, which is one of the graduation requirements at the College. Here is a link to a 1-minute video that explains the requirement.
Your Swim Test Appointment:
Date: Thursday, August 31
Time: {{Swim Test Time}}
What does the swim test entail?
- Enter the pool at the 4-foot deep end.
- Swim 3 lengths of the pool (75 yards) any combination of strokes.
- At the end of the third length, climb out of the pool without using a ladder.
- Step or jump feet first into the 13-foot deep end and then tread water or float for 2 minutes.
- Celebrate being done with this graduation requirement!
How will this work?
- Arrive at Ware Pool at the start of your time slot and check in.
- Wear your swimsuit under clothes. Locker rooms and bathrooms are available but we'd prefer to minimize use.
- Bring a towel!
- Each student will have space on deck to leave their clothes/shoes/etc.
- Complete the swim test.
- Check out with your proctor.
- Dry off and head back to your dorm, one step closer to graduation!
