Emler Swim School Enters Indianapolis Area with a Splash After Acquiring Stony Creek Swim Center

Emler Swim School acquired Stony Creek Swim Center, which operates one location in Noblesville, north of Indianapolis. The deal, which closed on November 17, 2022, enlarges Emler’s footprint to 42 facilities across Texas, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Virginia and Wisconsin.

“The Gipsons and Byers have helped an incredible number of children learn to swim since 1989,” said Emler CEO Greg Laird. “As they like to say, swimming is not only fun—it’s a necessity. We’re so pleased to have found another partner who not only believes in the importance of water safety skills but also in creating a positive, nurturing environment to learn how to swim.”

More than 20 years ago, Dan and Shari Gipson and Shari’s parents, Gary and Evelyn Byers, built the first Stony Creek location in Noblesville and have since transformed their school into the leader in aquatic education in central Indiana.

The Noblesville facility features a two-pool design that accommodates swim programs year-round so that children can retain their water safety knowledge and continue to learn new skills.

“I am so excited for the future of SCSC and the swimming community in Hamilton County under the guidance and leadership of Emler Swim School. I know they will be a wonderful addition to this community and will take care of our SCSC families,” said Shari Gipson, founder of Stony Creek Swim Center.

Stony Creek will continue to operate under its current name with the same enrollment plans and staff. For more information about Stoney Creek Swim Center, visit https://stonycreekswimcenter.com/
