If you take a even remotly phisically active activity under guidence of a professional for at leat four hours a week and have them sign then it will count for your PE credit. My friend did this with karate, someone I know did it with horse back riding, someone did it with dance classes. Aerobics work too. Stage combat is what I am in, so I assume fencing would work as well. Any personal trainer would count. One of my friend even got away with taking a course in clowning because it included tumbling.

I've never heard of doing this, my school didn't offer it as an alternative.

my school made it extremely difficult to get out of gym with extracurricular acticities (i was swimming about 8 hours a week with a club team, and they still made me do PE) but you can get out by doing marching band for three years
