Emler Swim School has been teaching families to swim for 50 years and has been trusted by families since 1975, and Jan Emler started teaching swim lessons in a backyard pool 50 years ago. The program’s mission is to make every child feel safe, confident, strong and loved in its pools. Certified instructors follow a proven, supportive approach and complete 30+ hours of training before they teach a class, including child development, safety protocols, and real in-water scenarios, with continued coaching provided. Facilities include parent viewing areas inside and comfortable changing areas.
Emler Swim School offers lessons starting at 2 months old, including a Bathtime Babies class for ages 2–5 months with adult participation and a 10:1 class ratio, a Toddlers class for ages 6–35 months with a 6:1 class ratio, and Preschool, Kids, and Advanced classes with 4:1 class ratios. The program highlights low student-to-teacher ratios, including a 4:1 ratio, and offers free trial lessons and 12 free make-up lessons. Weekly swim clinics are described as achieving five weeks of progress in five days. The school uses a SwimSure™ 11-level curriculum with 100+ developmental milestones, a dual-safety foundation teaching Jump-Turn-Swim and Roll-to-Backfloat, and a SwimSure™ safety pledge at the start of every class. Pools use filtration and UV-C light sanitation for the water. Emler Swim School is part of the Emler Swim & Gym family expanding into gymnastics schools, has a nationwide network of 35+ Emler Swim Schools and 14 partner swim schools, and uses Team Managers to oversee lessons, answer questions, and track progress. Lessons are offered year-round to prevent skill regression and maintain water safety.
Emler Swim School has taught over 100 million lessons, has 16,000+ 5-star reviews and more than 15,000 five-star parent reviews, and Olympic medalist Amanda Beard trusts its schools. Emler Swim School shares the same mission as and stands with Every Child a Swimmer, Miss Tristan Foundation, Hope Floats Foundation, Safe Kids Worldwide, Kinetic Kids, Colin’s Hope, and Central Texas Water Safety Coalition.
