The most important part of the Department's physical education programme is swimming instruction, aimed at improving the swimming skills of future seafarers. Graduates are required to demonstrate proficiency in four swimming strokes and pass a practical assessment.

- volleyball (men's and women's)
- basketball (men's and women's)

Students who participate in sports sections and win medals at the Polish Championships are eligible for a sports scholarship, while outstanding athletes may receive a Minister of Science and Higher Education scholarship. The Department also organises a ski training camp during the winter holiday break.
