Swimming has many benefits and Amy Maloney, British Swim School of Nashville owner believes that everyone should have the opportunity to learn to swim. Being in the open water gives you a sense of peace and freedom. It’s not overly hard on the body, provides many health benefits, and can be done at any age.
Although her mother was an avid swimmer and saved a young child from drowning in a neighbor’s pool, Amy’s own father never learned to swim and was uncomfortable around the water his entire life.
After a long career leading software technology companies, Amy’s passion for swimming and drowning prevention led her to British Swim School, the premiere learn-to-swim provider for more than 40 years. What resonated deeply with her was the commitment to teaching water safety and survival skills to children as young as three months old to adults.
Unfortunately, families haven’t had a lot of options for swimming lessons in the Nashville area. Amy is on a mission to make swim lessons available to as many people as possible.
British Swim School of Nashville is now enrolling for swim lessons in MetroCenter and Donelson areas with plans to expand into surrounding areas in the coming months.
Lessons are available for children as young as 3 months old up to adults and are based on skill level. What sets British Swim School apart from other swim schools is its emphasis on building water survival techniques and creating a fun and playful environment. Most swim schools teach students to swim to the wall and get themselves out of the pool. At British Swim School, our students learn what to do if they fall into any body of water that may or may not have a wall.
We use gentle teaching methods and a survival-first approach. Children start with learning how to roll over and float in order to stay safe in the water. Repetition in infants as young as 3 months old builds muscle memory and will allow them to save their own lives. British Swim School’s safe, fun, and effective instructional program has made it the preferred choice for parents and students for over 40 years.
British Swim School believes in creating a positive and secure learning environment, ensuring that our students not only acquire essential swimming skills but also develop a lifelong love for the water.
Our instructors are second to none and bring fun and expertise like no other. They are energetic, experienced, and passionate about water safety education. With British Swim School’s unique teaching approach, every family member receives personalized attention and guidance.
For years, industry experts have emphasized the importance of swimming year-round, not just in the summer months. Staying “swim-ready” throughout the year helps to strengthen muscle memory and survival swim basics and stroke techniques. This is especially critical for children, who typically take longer to remember skills they haven’t practiced for a while.
Benefits of staying “swim-ready” year round:
• Reduces the risk of drowning by 88%.
• Teaches students to overcome any fear of the water, building confidence as they go.
• Strengthens muscle memory of survival swim basics and stroke techniques, preparing students for major swim seasons.
• Provides a balanced form of exercise during cooler months, building muscular, strength, cardiovascular health, endurance, flexibility, and coordination.
• Teaches collaboration between instructor and student, developing trust and respect for adults.
• Builds self-confidence for encountering unfamiliar environments, interactions, and activities.
• Reduces anxiety, improves mental toughness, and releases endorphins into the body.
British Swim School’s unique water safety program uses teaching methods that are the trademark of our company. Our instructors are dedicated to teaching water safety techniques in a gentle, fun, but most importantly, highly successful approach. We do not run our lessons according to set courses, but rather to match our students’ abilities and comfort level.
