And just like that, another year of successful swim tests is in the books! This Tuesday, March 31, Columbia College seniors flocked to the Uris pool to participate in the final swim test offered this semester, a requirement for all CC seniors in order to graduate and receive their diplomas. Our reporters were on the scene as students happily completed their three lengths of the pool and celebrated with their friends, thrilled that they had finally checked their last box to graduate.
We interviewed one senior, Franklin Smith, about his experience completing the test. “I had a really good time swimming with my friends, and now I’m so excited for graduation!” He told us, cheerily. “And I’m really glad that my friend told me this was the last possible test with enough time left for me to sign up. Imagine if I had forgotten and wouldn’t have been able to graduate! I’d have felt like such an idiot.”
The Spectador staff sends our congratulations to all the seniors who completed their final CC requirement on Tuesday, and we wish them luck post-graduation!
