THE NSA DIFFERENCE
Welcome to Nashville Swim Academy, the premier learn-to-swim program in Nashville, Tennessee! We have been creating a lifelong love for the water in the greater Nashville area for more than a decade now, and we aim to continue to serve this community with enthusiasm for teaching and swimming.
The outpour of support from the community for our team of aquatics professionals is fantastic! We have wonderful swim families who have found a home away from home for their kids to develop lifelong swimming skills that can take them in whatever aquatics direction they want to go.
We are thrilled with the swimming successes of the thousands of kids who have come through our program over the years. Some key factors that set us apart are:
Aquatics Professionals - Our instructors aren't just instructors, they are enthusiastic, well-trained professionals who continue to sharpen their skills and build on a very strong foundation of teaching developed by Director and Owner, Krysten Call.
Consistent Positive Exposure - Every instructor understands that every interaction counts, whether it is with a parent or with a child, it all matters! Every moment is an opportunity to improve technique and safety. What you do with that opportunity is up to you! We maintain a positive environment and attitude. Committed to Excellence, we are in the moment and the best version of ourselves!
Adaptive Learning - Our instructors are trained to identify the individual needs of each swimmer, meet them where they are, and help them build on those skills. Learning to swim can be challenging, and we are here to be confident for each swimmer through the challenges until they gain confidence in themselves.
Small Class Sizes - We place kids into classes based on age and skill level. We find that kids who are placed in classes with their peer groups tend to develop skills at a similar pace and can learn from each other in a group setting.
We hope you will join us as we continue to serve this community through an awesome swimming experience.
From Parent & Me classes all the way through competitive stroke development, we have a swim option that will meet the specific needs of each of our students.
Our Competitive Team Prep groups are the next step after kids learn how to swim, these groups continue to work on refining strokes and cultivating a love for swimming and competition. This program is broken into three different groups with specific skill development goals for each.
