Aquatots Plano

Toddler Swim Classes for Plano

The Plano Aquatots program engages your child’s imagination by using daily themes to teach three year olds submersion, breath control and destination kicking.

Classes are kept small, with a maximum of four students to every teacher. This program is for three year old children who are either new to the water or with existing experience in the water. Emler can teach a child without any skills to swim, or can bring your child’s existing skills up to the Aquatots level of proficiency.

Each class is limited to four students or less for each instructor, so it’s a small group of same-aged children, learning how to submerge safely in water and how to kick forward through the water.

The Emler Approach

Kids want to learn and grow and have fun, and Emler gives them classes that combine all of these three important features of development. Classes are always positive and fun, with instruction given through themes and games. Completely non-competitive, each class celebrates your child’s achievements in the pool.

Certified and highly specialized teachers open up the fun of water for your child in progressive steps that become more exciting as kids hold their breath longer, roll over in the water, submerge underwater, and develop the ability to move through the water independently.

Emler classes consist of lots of laughing and exuberance as children naturally develop skills. The teacher-student bond is strong, with total support and trust involved.

With an award-winning curriculum, and 48 years of experience teaching kids, Emler’s promise is simple: Emler guarantees that your child will learn to swim and be proficient in the water.

Parents

Parents are always in attendance during every class, whether seated comfortably in the observation room or on the deck on a bench, watching and cheering. Here’s the Emler guide to Your Child’s First Swim Lesson for tips on how to make it easy. And take a look at how the Emler Facilities are scrupulously designed and maintained for complete safety, cleanliness and physical comfort for both the little swimmers and their parents.

Find the Right Class for Your Toddler

It’s important for young children to start learning in an environment that matches their swim skills.  This allows them to gain confidence and grow in an environment with positive reinforcement.

That’s why each of our age-specific programs contains progressive levels, and also why we offer free evaluations to determine exactly where your child’s proficiency lies, and in which of the more than 20 different teaching levels your child should begin.

See the Emler guide to Finding the Right Class for Your Child. There are four levels in the Aquatots toddler swim program to make sure your child is placed in the right level for their skills.

For children aged 3 years and older, you’ll start with our free 10-minute one-on-one Swim Skills Evaluation with one of our instructors. The skilled instructor will  assess your child’s level of skill and match your child to the perfect class.

What Your Toddler Will Learn

Our classes use daily themes and games to teach your toddler core water safety techniques in a way that’s fun. Through the Aquatots levels, toddlers learn how to submerge for 8 to 10 seconds, and how to kick through the water for progressively longer distances.

In the second level class, the student will learn rollover breathing, a key water safety technique in which your child learns to roll into a back float to take a new breath. And in the final level of Aquatots, students are introduced to front breathing. Throughout the levels, the distances get longer, the techniques become second nature, and the smiles get wider!
