All students must pass a brief swim test at the Casey Swim Center before they may check out sail boats or kayaks at the Lelia Hynson Boating Park. All members of the varsity rowing or sailing teams must also pass this test. Staff at the swim center will administer the test, and sign a completion form. Return this form to the boathouse where it will be kept on file. Give the Waterfront Director any newly completed swim test forms so they may be recorded in the database, and added to the printed list.

The test requires each individual to swim eight lengths of the 25-yard pool and tread water for five minutes. Tests will only be administered during open swim times.
