Franklin Swim School
Welcome to Franklin Swim School! We are a Learn-To-Swim program led by Franklin teachers and swim coaches, eager to share our love for the water through safe and effective instruction. Whether you are learning to be comfortable in the water, or interested to learn the skills it takes to become a competitive swimmer, Franklin Swim School is here to help!
Our swim school is led by coaches and assisted by athletes from the local Franklin Regional Swim Team. They bring years of experience and a wealth of knowledge about all levels of swimming, and water-based activities.
Philosophy
Whether your child dreams of becoming an Olympian or you just want them to be water-safe, we are here to help! We believe in starting with the basics of self-rescue through back floating so if a child is pushed in the pool, falls in or otherwise unexpectedly finds themself in a body of water, they can float on their back until help can arrive. Once an athlete is safe and comfortable on their back, we begin teaching them how to manipulate their bodies to move efficiently through the water starting with Freestyle and Backstroke before introducing Butterfly and Breaststroke if they have aspirations for the competitive team. While it is wonderful when a child develops a passion for the water and wants to continue on in the sport of swimming, our primary goal is to teach water safety to as many children as we can.
