Children’s Swimming Lessons in Franklin

Swimtastic Swim School has taught thousands of children how to love the water, and now it’s time for your kiddo to jump in! Swimming is an important life skill, and swimming lessons for children help kids stay safer in and around water. But why is water safety so important? Unfortunately, the number one cause of accidental death in children under four is drowning. It’s a frightening statistic, but the good news is that swimming lessons make a big difference

At Swimtastic Franklin, we make learning to swim fun and stress-free. Parents love our easy registration process and flexible, year-round lesson schedule. Young swimmers feel comfortable learning new skills in our warm water pools. And, kids and parents alike appreciate our small class sizes,  individual attention, and professional, loving team. 

Why does my child need swimming lessons?

Swimming is fun and empowering, but it’s also an essential life skill that will make your kids safer when they’re taking a bath, playing in the pool or at the beach, trying to make a splash at a backyard pool party, and anywhere else there’s water. 


Regardless of your swimmer’s goals, all children can benefit from learning how to be stronger and safer swimmers. Every Swimtastic Franklin teacher is an experienced swimmer with a passion for teaching, and they’ll work with your family to find the perfect class that meets your needs. Whether your goal is to help your kiddo develop basic water safety skills, compete at an elite level, or something in the middle, our swimming lessons for kids are the perfect solution.

Our Toddler Transition class is focused on teaching water safety skills while transitioning the swimmer to learn independently of mom and dad.

Adaptive Aquatics

Adaptive Aquatics

At Swimtastic Swim School we have a team of certified teachers with various training and experience in working with students with special and unique needs. We know swimming is a critical life saving skill and being in the water has so many positive benefits. From developing a sense of confidence and independence to soothing sensory overload and giving swimmers a feeling of weightlessness and relief from physical discomfort, there are so many benefits to swimming. Prior to starting lessons we encourage families to meet with our team to discuss your student’s goals and develop a customized teaching plan based on our curriculum to build a swim experience that is best for your swimmer.

Swim Team Prep

Swim Team Prep

Ready for more? Our Swim Team Prep classes focus on improving endurance, strength and stroke technique for swimmers that want to refine their swimming skills. Classes include a set workout with an out of water coach whose primary goal is to mimic the experience one would have on a recreational swim team. Our Swim Team Prep program is for kids who are wanting to join a swim team in the future or who just love the sport of swimming and want to continue on as their form of exercise.

Family Open Swim
