Emler Swim School
We are people who love kids and teaching kids to love swimming! At Emler Swim School, our students’ safety is our highest priority. It’s why we invest in the best people and high-end UV water purification systems to keep every one of our pools safe and pristine. And it’s why every one of our swim instructors undergoes one of the most rigorous training programs in the nation, including a minimum of 56 hours of classroom and in-water training, a stringent exam, and continuing education throughout each year. Our award-winning, semester-based, Swim Script curriculum offers 20 levels of effective, goal-oriented swim education for all ages and skills. Emler starts with our free Bathtime Babies course for newborns with their parents, and our Waterbabies program that offers classes where parents can participate in the water, or not. All three-year-olds attend our Aquatots program, and typically the four-, five-, and six-year-olds attend our Beginners swimming lessons. Once a child is ready to learn the four competitive swim strokes, they attend the Swimmers classes. For swimmers who can benefit from working on endurance and love to be a part of a team, our Recreational Swim Team offers ongoing learning and competitive fun. We are still growing, with 29 locations serving communities in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Kansas City area, and soon, Oregon. We're thankful to our great teams for leading to our being recognized in employer awards ever year, including the Business Journals' BEST PLACES TO WORK awards (since 2016) in our communities.
