Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death for children ages 1–4 in the US. At Emler, we don’t just teach swimming, we use our unique SwimSure™ curriculum to teach life-long skills, one skill, one smile, and one high five at a time.
Our proprietary SwimSure™ curriculum integrates water safety into every skill, level, and lesson, because when a child gains skills, they gain safety and confidence too.
Every Class Starts with the Emler Safety Pledge
Every Emler swimmer learns our Dual Safety Foundation: the Jump, Turn, Swim and Roll-to-Backfloat techniques. Practiced across all 11 SwimSure™ levels, these proven survival methods teach children what to do in unexpected situations and how to safely return to the wall.

Practice Real-World Safety Scenarios
Our curriculum teaches safety in real-life contexts:
No Shortcuts, Just Real Skills
We don’t use puddle jumpers or floaties. We teach body positioning, breath control, and survival techniques, all through play, repetition, and structure.
Small Class Sizes for Safer Lessons
Our low student-to-teacher ratios ensure swimmers receive close attention, immediate correction, and extra hands-on support when needed.
