is the swim in open water (where) or in a pool?
The swim is in open water and is located at River Rock Estates, 3800 West 3800 South.
We try to make this as safe as possible. We do create swim lanes so kids aren’t zig zagging accross the pond. We also start in waves with 10 participants for each wave. We have boats in the water and more importantly have around 10-15 lifeguards in the water so we have eyes on each kid.
Life Jackets are strongly recommended. I would say around 95% of kids wear life jackets.
