Extracurricular activities are not usually mandatory but recommended. Physical education courses, particularly swimming courses, are part of the child’s school schedule and are included in the required competency goals. These are therefore compulsory courses. Each child participates in physical education classes, except in the case of a proven medical condition. In this case, you will have to present a certificate from your doctor. It is advised to talk to the teacher and/ or the direction of your child’s school in case you have any questions or issues.
