At the College of William and Mary, in the 1970s, you had to take four PE classes in order to graduate. One of them had to be swimming, but the other three could be anything offered. I knew how to canoe, so my girlfriend and I took canoeing. It was fun, lazily boating around on mysterious, multi-digitate, and very large Lake Matoaka. It almost felt like cheating, because we didn't really learn anything, but, they shouldn't have let us take it if ignorance was a requirement! In The swimming class you had to be able to float, which was kind of difficult for a skinny guy like me. .
