Children's Swim Lessons in Knoxville, TN
According to the National Drowning Prevention Alliance, one way to reduce children’s risk of death from drowning is swim lessons! Children 5 years old and older are able to become strong swimmers. Take children’s swim lessons with us in Knoxville, TN so they can not only have fun, but also learn a great life-saving skill!
What swimming skills can a student who is 5 or older aquire?
A child that is 5 years old and older can acquire a variety of skills depending on their developmental abilities. Our goal for our children over 5 is to become a Level 6, which is primarily dependent on their water exposure and how often they have done swim lessons. Children older than 5 should be able to swim on a swim team if that is something you are interested in!
Should I do 30 minute or 15 minute swim lessons for my child?
Older students have a lot more in common with adults than with young children when it comes to learning to swim. Their height, weight distribution, and intellectual understanding are typically greater than young children. We recommend adults to book 30 minute swim lessons, so it makes sense for older students (about 8-10 y/o +) to take 30 minute lessons. We recommend student younger than 8 take 15 minutes if they are levels 1, 2, or 3.
How many swim lessons should I book for children 5 and older?
Children at this stage in development have a much greater understanding of their body, so it usually doesn’t take as long for them to learn to swim. 5- to 12-year-olds need about 10 lessons if they are a Level 1 to get used to the water and learn some basic swimming skills. After that, another 5 of so will get them close if not all the way to Level 5 for a total of 15 lessons. If they are already familiar with the water, we recommend starting with 10 and then going from there. Students over 12 years old are more like adults, so we recommend starting with at least 5 lessons, and then re-evaluating.

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
