3. My college has a Swim Test Requirement for Graduation.

The family of one of our alumnae who drowned made a donation to the college with the proviso that future students had to pass a Swim Test. Most everyone puts it off until April of their senior year. A student has to be able to swim a lap using any stroke that they prefer and they have to tread water for ten minutes and float for five.

I have a huge ass and since fat floats, I had to spread my limbs as far apart as possible to float right side up. But my buttocks fought me every minute as my glutenous maximus inexorably kept tipping me to the side as my rear end floaties tried to make their way to the surface.
