    Students aiming to(以…为目标)enter Tsinghua University(清华大学) this year had better have the ability to swim or prepare to learn swimming and pass a swim test since the well-known university will not present the certificate(证书) to their students if they cannot swim.

    On Monday March 27 th, Beijing Daily News reported that new students at Tsinghua University will have to take swimming courses. If they fail in the swimming test during their study, they won't receive their degrees if they cannot swim before their graduation(毕业).

    Why does the university relate the swimming ability with degrees? Liu Bo, the head of the Sports Science and Physical Education, said, "As a survival skill, students can keep themselves safe from danger when they are in water. Students can also benefit a lot from swimming, since it is helpful in improving students' physical abilities as a water sport."

    Whether it's summer or not, swimming can keep yourself up, energetic, and active. Regular swimming is a good way to keep people healthy. Swimming also does the job of making your skin soft, younger, and healthier. Playing with water makes people feel young, and it washes away all the negative feelings that you have. People can also get pleasure from swimming.

    Moreover, it also relaxes people's mind in some ways. Now a great deal of people suffer from stress coming from study, work, family, and other aspects of life. According to surveys, 74% of people say that the feeling of stress has greatly reduced, and in fact, some of them do not feel the pressure (压力)when they are in the water.
