Students aiming to enter Tsinghua University this year have to be able to swim or be prepared to learn swimming and pass a swim test.
The university will organize a swimming test for all freshmen in September. Those students who fail to swim at least 50 meters will be required to take a mandatory course throughout their studies so that they are able to swim by the time they graduate, otherwise the university won't grant them a diploma.
Why the university is linking swimming ability with degrees? Because as a requisite survival skill, swimming is beneficial for students in the long run. Swimming is helpful in improving students' endurance and doing less harm to joints and muscles as a water sport.
