Stars come from 3 or more client reviews. Experience and teaching history are provided by the instructor. Instructors are independent contractors, not InstaSwim employees. Every instructor you can be matched with has been background checked, keeps a CPR and First Aid card on file, has finished InstaSwim's safety and conduct training, and has signed the contractor agreement. Your match depends on your location, schedule and swimmers, so it may be a different instructor.

Questions Tennessee parents ask
Good questions. Straight answers.
Pricing and billing details are on the pricing page.
Do you offer swim lessons everywhere in Tennessee?
InstaSwim has a lessons page for 44 Tennessee towns and counties. If yours is not listed, type your ZIP at the top: an independent instructor may still travel to you, and registering is free.
How much do swim lessons cost in Tennessee?
Rates are per lesson and set for your ZIP code, starting at $52 a lesson for 30 minutes in a 12 lesson package. Some areas are $10 to $20 more per lesson. Your town's page shows your exact rate.
Do we need our own pool?
Lessons happen at a pool your family arranges: a backyard pool, a building, condo or HOA pool, or a pool you have access to. InstaSwim does not own or provide pools, and any pool fees go to the pool, not to InstaSwim.
Who are the instructors?
Independent contractors on the InstaSwim roster, not InstaSwim employees. Nobody is matched with a family until they clear a background check, have a CPR and First Aid card on file, complete safety and conduct training, and sign the contractor agreement.
Do you have baby, adult and special needs lessons in Tennessee?
Yes. In Tennessee, 32 towns have a baby and toddler page, 41 an adult page and 15 an adaptive and special needs page. Pick your town above to see which are offered near you.
Will lessons make my child water safe?
No lesson makes anyone safe around water. Lessons build skills, comfort and good habits. An adult should watch every swimmer, every time.
