Swim Lessons for 3-Year-Olds at Emler Swim School
Our Tots Swim Lessons are specially designed for 3-year-olds who are ready to take the next step toward independence in the water. At this age, children begin swimming without a parent in the pool, building confidence while learning the fundamentals of water safety and early swimming skills.
With small class sizes and our proven SwimSure™ curriculum, every 3-year-old gets the encouragement and guidance they need to succeed. Lessons focus on comfort, floating, basic strokes, and safe practices, all taught in a playful, supportive environment that makes learning fun.
These classes are the perfect bridge between parent & baby lessons and our full kids’ swim levels, giving tots the confidence to grow into strong, independent swimmers.
