COMING SOON!
BUILDING OUR OWN FACILITY
We are excited to announce that WE ARE BUILDING A POOL!
That’s right. We have secured a location in May of 2024 to build a pool in the Nations. We cannot wait to open our doors at our new home to all of our long-standing Nashville Swim Academy families and to welcome new families too! We will keep you posted on the progress!
THE BIG DIG
Can you guess what is going to go in this giant crater? That is going to be a POOL!!! Our pool is going to be 75 feet long, 25 feet wide, and will run from 3.5 feet to 5 feet deep. That is 1,875 square feet of splishy splashy fun.
Can you guess how many truck loads of dirt we hauled off? Send us your guess for a chance to win a month of free swim lessons at our new facility. We will announce the winner at our grand opening early in the New Year. Follow us on our social accounts to stay up to date with pictures and videos of the construction progress.
Swim @ Boost FitClub
In the meantime, we are offering classes at Boost FitClub. Make the transition to the new facility super smooth by joining us at Boost in the interim. Check the Parent Portal to enroll in classes NOW! As an added bonus, our Boost Swimmers will have first dibs on classes at the new pool.
GROUND BREAKING
Making Waves: Nashville Swim Academy’s Groundbreaking Ceremony!
A major milestone is officially in motion—Nashville Swim Academy has broken ground on our brand-new, state-of-the-art swim facility! Our dedicated team gathered on-site, proudly donning hard hats and holding shovels, symbolizing the start of an exciting new chapter for our swim community.
This groundbreaking moment represents more than just construction—it’s the foundation for a premier swim space designed to provide the highest-quality instruction and water safety in Middle Tennessee. With cutting-edge filtration systems and a thoughtfully designed pool, we’re committed to exceeding industry standards and creating an unmatched experience for swimmers of all ages.
Thank you to our incredible swim families for your continued support. We can’t wait to welcome you into the water soon—stay tuned for more updates as we bring our vision to life!
PUMP ROOM EQUIPMENT
We’re making steady progress on our new facility, and while there’s still work to be done, we’re thrilled to share an important milestone—we’ve officially submitted the initial deposit for our state-of-the-art pump room equipment!
This top-tier system is designed to maintain exceptional water quality, exceeding industry, state, and local standards.
Our commitment to safety and excellence means that when our doors open, you can expect the cleanest, safest, and most well-maintained swimming environment for your family.
Stay tuned for more updates as we bring our new pool to life!

Guess how many truck loads of dirt we hauled off for a chance to win a month of free swim lessons. 🚜
Did you know that core stability is core to swimming?
We use the cheese mats with our littlest swimmers to work on 2 things:
1. Strengthen their core muscles
2. Be aware of their surroundings and water entrances
Making learning new skills fun for all ages! ⭐️🐠

Can your little ones name all the safe spots in a pool? We teach our swimmers to look for the wall or the stairs if they’re ever in trouble.
Once our swimmers are comfortable with their streamline, kicking, and rolling over on their own we introduce big arms. This guy is doing awesome making sure his hands come all the way out of the water! We’re so proud of his awesome swimming 🏊🏼😎

Floatation devices are always a hot topic in the swim community. We’re here to help you navigate when floatation devices are appropriate and when they are actually negatively impacting your child. So, what’s the truth? Check the link in our bio for the full story 🛟
1). “When should my child wear floatation”?
In and around natural bodies of water (lakes, oceans, rivers).
2). “What about at the pool”?
Ideally, you should avoid the use of floatation devices in the pool.
3). “Why? Isn’t it safer for my child to be in a floatation device”?
Nope. Supervised swimming without flotation is the best option.
Floatation devices such as puddle jumpers actually hinder your child’s ability to learn how to swim. Are they convenient? Well, in the long run - still no. Not at all. You might be able to enjoy a book by the pool knowing that your child is “safe” in the puddle jumper but the setbacks you will experience in your child’s swim journey simply aren’t worth it.
👼Happy Mother’s Day!👼 from Nashville Swim Academy. We hope all our mamas have a wonderful day 💐

Say goodbye to the days of lounging at the pool with a good book and a cocktail. As parents, we have a new role. Think of a trip to the pool like a trip to Disney. Would you ever take your eyes off of your child at an amusement park? Are you having a relaxing, fun, vacation when you visit Disney World? Nope!
Truthfully, any activities in or around water are the most dangerous. Your eyes should be focused on your children, allowing them a turn at enjoying the pool. Take time to enjoy it with them. Get in the water, splash around, and create those core memories.

🛟Here are some talking points for your older swimmers! 🛟
1) Confident 7+ Year Old Swimmers - We need a buddy when we swim. We NEVER swim alone. All swimmers should have a buddy with them before they take the plunge.
2) Confident 4 to 6 Year Old Swimmers - We need grown-up's eyes watching us when we swim. Before we jump in, we need to check to make sure our caregiver is watching. We never go in the water without our grown-up's eyes watching us.
3) Walking Feet Around Water - We always use walking feet around water because with water comes slippery surfaces. Be mindful that you may have amazing balance and quick reflexes but those around you may not and slipping and sliding will happen if you run.
4) Always Keep Hands, Feet, & Flippers to Yourself - Have a blast splashing and playing in the water, but keep your extremities to yourself. We don't want a playful wrestle, push, or pull to cause an accident.
5) Look Before You Jump - We always check to make sure we are jumping out into open, clear water, avoiding other people, objects, and murky water.
6) How do we know it is safe to dive in? - The first step is to look for signage. We all know what the 'No Diving' sign looks like. Obviously, we know not to dive if we see that sign, but what if there isn't a sign and no indication of how deep the water is? In these cases we test the depth with our feet first. If the water is over your head, it is safe enough to dive in. If you do see depth indicators, you are looking for the water to be at least 5 feet deep before you dive.
7) What to Do if Someone is Struggling in the Water - Unless you took a lifeguard class, you never jump in after a friend or sibling who is struggling. Get a grownup right away so they can help.
8) Lifejackets on When in A Boat - Everyone needs a lifejacket when we are on any sort of water craft.
9) The Only Thing in Our Mouths When Swimming Should Be A Bubble - We avoid swimming with gum, hard candy, or any kind of food while swimming. All of these are a choking hazard while swimming.
10) Younger Sibling are Watching &Following - Remember that younger siblings need a grownup supervising them at all times around water.
#swimsafety
🛟May is Swim Safety Month 🛟
Believe it or not, swim safety starts at home! We suggest talking about being safe around water BEFORE you get to the pool. That way no one is overly excited and everyone can focus on the conversation.
Some pointers for your swim safety discussion -
1) Have a script. Make the conversation the same every single time you are getting ready to go to the pool. Make sure every parent and caregiver highlights the same rules. Every. Single. Time. Your kiddos should know the "swim speech" by heart and should be repeating it back to you with annoyance in their voices. This doesn't mean you should stop giving the speech. Stick with it!
2) Set clear expectations and don't falter! Just like with crossing a busy road full of cars, your expectations and rules should be very clear. No exceptions.
3) Establish clear parameters for your child. Reiterate that we NEVER go in the water without a grownup.
4) Indicate ONE entry point of the pool. Stay behind a certain line of the pool deck until a grownup says it is okay to get in the pool.
5) Communicate. If your child wears a flotation device, make sure to communicate when your child is wearing the device and when they are not. Most accidents happen when a child has a false sense of security provided by a flotation device that they are no longer wearing.
6) Age group rules. Remind your younger kiddos that they cannot swim as well as older brother/sister. Remind your older kiddos that their little siblings cannot swim as well as them. It is important for both age groups to have a clear understanding of their ability in the water. Make clear rules against following older brother or sister into deep water. Make sure older siblings are not left responsible for younger swimmers. Just because your oldest can stand and hold your youngest does not mean it should happen. Especially without ADULT supervision.

💡 Spotlight on Ms. Kendall! 💡 Kendall has been with NSA for a year now. She was born and raised in Nashville. Although she doesn’t have a background in competitive swimming, she was in the water all day every day during the summers growing up.
Kendall loves spending time with her swimmers in the water and especially looks forward to hearing their stories. Although she enjoys working with all ages, Kendall loves watching the 2 year old's learn. She finds it rewarding when they are able to grasp a skill she has taught them!
