I went during IAP, there was no one within a thousand years of me. You can bring your own towel and just leave it in the locker room with your stuff. |

If you're really concerned, I'm sure you can go to a female only test... I assume they must have those since they take such great pains to provide female-only swimming lessons. I also assume that a female-only test would be much more secluded, since they have to accommodate Muslims and Mormans and so forth... |

Great pains being having it once, during IAP, every other year?
They have a men's only one in the other year. |

Well I passed. Woo. It was also just me. In fact, it was so much just me that it was totally ambiguous where I was supposed to go once I entered the pool area.. (They just say to show up at 8pm on the website.) I wandered around in bewilderment and finally asked a life guard who directed me to some dude who was apparently in charge of the swim test.He was friendly and all, at least. Also was staring at my chest for a while, which was a bit awkward.
Yeah.. I thought about the female only thing. I don't even know if would be any better, though.. it's more just unpleasant that anyone is here. Heh. At least it's over. One step closer to graduating. |

The weird guy who has an office in the pool room is who you're talking about, right? What the hell does he even do in there? |

Stare at chests?
This means Vernon has to go beat some guy up now, right? _________________ ' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'. |

Actually, I don't know... he was a slightly geeky looking black guy with glasses and business casual attire. He was sitting next to one of the lanes, but the offices were empty which could be explained by one of them being his. |

I mean, I was wearing a swimsuit; it's like I was asking for it. Or like MIT was making me ask for it in order to graduate. |

First off,

wtf? So I just got back from taking that so called swim test myself. I thought me and Eddie were cool... now he had to go and fuck it up. I am not a vindictive man, as I'm sure you are all aware, so this time he gets a warning: tomorrow he wakes up with a horse head in his bed... next time, I will publicly crucify him as an example to others.
Now, with regard to the swim test, this story is true:
So I jump in the pool, I'm pleasantly surprised to find that the water is a great temperature, and I start doing my thing. I was there with my man Doug, one of the other course 24 majors, and we just started swimming. I'm gonna be honest with you all: this was some straight up eye of the tiger shit. I was in there doing freestyle, breaststrokes, sidestrokes... pretty much every stroke that's ever been up in that bitch and a couple I just made up on the spot. My one problem, and it was a serious one, was this:
The second I jumped in, the goggles were gone. You have to understand, my eyes are very sensitive. 20/15 in both eyes... like a hawk... I can't have them getting all chlorinated and shit.
To sum it up: I eat swim tests for breakfast, hello Bachelor of Science degree. _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

Touche.
Although, I believe MIT specifically requires one of these

What? |
The non-traditionally-exposed areas of that swimsuit are possibly the worst areas of any woman's body...
Also... burquini, indeed. |
