Last week, Shanghai University, China announced that students who have not completed the 50m swim test can take the test “online” at home without requiring a pool.
In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic that broke out strongly in Shanghai, this is said to be a bold initiative of this university.
This action of the university will guarantee the graduation time of the students. However, whether the students can swim or not is uncertain.
Many people fear that students graduate with A’s on their swimming test, but in reality they can drown in the family pool.
The hashtag about the online swimming test has received more than 120 million views on Weibo.
