Toddler Swim Lessons in Knoxville, TN
2 years old is a great time to start or continue swim lessons! Drowning is the leading cause of death for children age 1 – 4 (according to the National Drowning Prevention Alliance). We want all of our toddler students to have a great foundation of basic swimming and water safety skills. Take toddler swim lessons with us in Knoxville, TN so you child can learn to be safer in the water.
What swimming skills can a 2-year-old acquire?
A toddler that is 2 years old can acquire a variety of skills depending on their developmental abilities. Our goal for our 2-year-old students is to reach Level 2, and maybe even Level 3 depending on the student. If your toddler student reaches Level 3, they will most likely work on the “roll over” breathing technique. They will most likely not reach Level 4 until 3 years old, but getting them started as young as possible makes all the difference when they are older!
How many swim lessons should I book for my toddler student?
How many swim lessons you should book for 2 year old students is dependent on the kid and your goals. Is your goal just to get them to enjoy the water and have some fun? Then 10 lessons would be a great place to start. Is your goal to get them to be completely independent in the water? A 2 year old cannot be independent in the water, no matter how many lessons you do! However, if you want to reach level 3 with your toddler student, we recommend starting with 15 lessons.

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
