Swim Lessons

All Salt Lake County run swimming lessons use the same color progression to mark the levels (white, red, yellow, blue, and green).

Swim School is where swimmers begin to learn the basics of swimming and water safety.

Stroke School is for those working on developing their skills in each swim stroke.
