Swim to success | Liz Walker

Welcome to Full Confidence Ahead! Host Katie Ann Powell introduces her inspiring guest, Liz Walker, a community leader and entrepreneur who overcame her fear of water to become the owner of three successful swim schools. From her experience as a poor college student trading swimming lessons for goods and services, Liz now employs 2000 staff and teaches children from 4 months to 10 years old. As the podcast progresses, the discussion shifts to the importance of teaching children to swim as a preventative measure against accidental drowning, with Liz inspiring kids to overcome their fears and develop a growth mindset. They also reflect on the challenges of securing loans and managing multiple locations in the valley. Additionally, Liz shares her advice, "just keep swimming", to push through life's challenges. With Swim Kids Utah providing swimming lessons for children in Utah and Salt Lake Counties, the podcast encourages listeners to enroll their future children in lessons and become a part of the community.
