If you do not take the swim test, you will automatically be enrolled in Beginner’s Swimming for your fall semester. Once you learn how to swim, your instructor will ask you to take the swim test during class (1 lap on your stomach, 1 on your back, 1 of your choice). If you take the class, the instructors are generally more lenient with the requirements of the test (they’ll pretty much pass you if you make it near the end of the pool).

If for some reason you do not pass the swimming test by the end of your class, you must either take the class again (and you will have fulfilled the swim requirement whether you can swim or not) or take the swim test at another time.

Most Cornell programs are good. So yes, the Computer Science program is good.

As for CS, Cornell has one of the best CS program in the country. I have several friends who were CS majors at Cornell. You work with some of the smartest students and professors in the world. The computer facility is also top notch. You won’t be disappointed.

I don’t know about Cornell’s computer Science program, but my brother goes there and he loves it :]
