Adult Swim Lessons in Knoxville, TN

The American Boating Association states that for boating accidents with a known cause of death, “75% of fatal boating accident victims drowned”. We want adults to have strong swimming skills as well as water safety knowledge so that they do not become part of this statistic.

What swimming skills can an adult acquire?

Adults can become Level 6 swimmers, ready to learn more advanced skills from other providers, such as scuba diving.

What do you do to help adults with a lot of fear about swimming?

Many adults who never learned to swim had a negative experience when they were children. That negative experience might have even been traumatic. We adapt swim lessons for adults to the comfort level of the student. We start slow and allow the adult to acclimate to the water, one skill at a time.

How many swim lessons should I book as an adult student?

We recommend starting with 10 lessons to give you the best chance of success, but this depends on your goals. If you want to learn to scuba dive, you may need more! If you want to learn to swim across a pool, 10 may be all you need.

Our Teaching Philosophy

The All Knox Swim Teaching Philosophy is what we call the family oriented model. The family oriented model is a way of teaching swim lessons and water safety that incorporates the whole family. There are two aspects of the family oriented model:

Family Involved Swim Lessons

We gather lots of information on your registration, such as how much you want us to "push" your student, because you know what your child needs better than anyone
Parents stay in the pool area the entire lesson
Parents of infants and toddlers get in the water with the student
We teach private lessons so we have time to get your input before, during, and after your lessons.

Water Safety for the Whole Family

We do role playing during swim lessons to practice water safety
We share water safety information with families through many avenues, including our website
You can ask us questions about water safety at any time
We teach private lessons to allow the most time possible for personalized water safety instruction
