School Swimming and Lifeguarding Programs

Summary

The bill adds mandatory water‑safety instruction to the physical‑education curriculum for Utah public schools beginning in the 2028‑2029 school year. It also permits districts to provide swim lessons, lifeguard and swim‑instructor certification programs that can count toward physical‑education credits, with parental verification. Exemptions from the required water‑safety lesson are allowed if a parent requests it or if it conflicts with a student's IEP.
