Until fairly recently, it was a requirement that to graduate with a degree in the USA you had to pass a swimming test - you had to swim 50 yards & tred water for 5 minutes. CNN has an article on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, one of the last schools with the requirement.
Interestingly, Mortimer Adler, philosopher and author of How To Read a Book (among others) earned a PhD, but dropped out of high school and never completed the swimming requirement of his bachelor's degree.
