Swimming Lessons Save Lives! And She’s Made It Her Mission | Swim Kids (Liz Walker)
From a backyard trailer park pool to three bustling locations serving over 50,000 families, this is the story of how SwimKids Utah grew from humble beginnings into a lifesaving community staple. In this episode, we dive into the challenges and triumphs of turning a one-person swimming lesson hobby into a family-run business with real impact. Hear about the journey from teaching neighborhood kids, in exchange for rides to the pool, to training employees, handling massive growth, and developing a unique curriculum that teaches swimming as a life skill, not just playtime. Along the way, we explore what it means to pass on a legacy, build a community-centered business, and instill life-saving skills that truly make a difference.
