Participate During: Fall, Winter, and Spring/Summer semesters

Tradition Challenge: Sign up for a SWELL course and try something new for class credit.

Pursue Your Best Self
SWELL courses are BYU's one-credit answer to academic burnout. SWELL offers over 30 fun, fitness-focused classes including pickleball, yoga, indoor cycling, rock climbing, ice hockey, and even meditation. As one Student Wellness coordinator put it, "wellness is the active pursuit of your best self," with the mind, body, and spirit all included.

Graded credit or no credit, SWELL classes are a low-stress way to pick up a new skill, get moving, and take a break from your usual academic grind. Consider learning to golf, trying Zumba for the first time, or figuring out how to belay on a climbing wall.

How To Participate:
  • Browse the available SWELL courses at studentwellness.byu.edu during registration 
  • Register for a class and attend throughout the semester (80% attendance is required for credit) 
  • Try something new and have fun doing it! 
  • Submit your participation on Traditions Keeper to complete the challenge and consider sharing a photo with us!
