[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was growing up swimming was a PE requirement in NYS once a year starting in 4th until you earned your Red Cross Intermediate card. The difference was that all the High Schools had indoor swimming pools. Even so, you had to take a bus from ES or MS to HS. Also, school issued bathing suits, color coded by size - ewww![/quote] The logistics of getting to a pool during school hours are not workable. Swim class as a MCPS requirement is also not a good idea in general. We had swimming as an optional part of our public HS PE program only because we had an indoor pool. I don’t think anyone learned anything from it. People are at all different levels, a PE teacher is not usually a good swim teacher, and I would not want to learn how to not drown in this sort of class. [/quote]
