In addition the ability to swim and engage in water sports is a lifetime skill highly regarded by Cambridge Public Schools. Water related activities could pose a serious threat to those unable to swim and those uneducated in water safety. Because of the value and importance of knowing how to swim all students must pass a Swim Test in order to graduate. Swimming lessons and testing will take place in the 9th Grade Physical Education classes. The department also offers additional aquatic classes for students in grades 10-12.
