The Nashville School Swim Club operates as an umbrella organization overseeing school-affiliated club swim teams in the Nashville area. The NSSC supports and fosters growth by providing resources and support for the formation and operation of new and existing swim teams. Athletes under the NSSC umbrella practice with their school or club teams, and compete for their school at middle & high school meets.
In 2023, April and Skyler formed the non-profit Nashville School Swim Club with a purpose of growing community in public schools through the sport of swimming. Together, they have grown public school teams in a number of MNPS schools in addition to assisting private school swimmers in the Nashville area.
The NSSC provides coaching and administrative support for competitive swimmers in both middle and high schools. We do not offer swim lessons. Athletes swimming with the program are expected to be able to legally swim at least two of the four swimming strokes.
Supported teams to date include:
Hume Fogg
Hillsboro
Nashville School of the Arts
MLK
Valor
Lawson
PVCS
NCS
Meigs
Isaac Litton
J. T. Moore
Croft
St. Joseph
