Also, from talking with some girls from my chapter, it seems like suburban high schools tend to have swimming as a required gym class, while urban high schools do not.

hehehe, true. i wonder, timewise, how you can get changed, swim, showered and changed again for swimming in a 45-minute period? were those classes longer?
