This program takes 3-year-olds in small groups (no more than 4 per instructor) and teaches them to be submerged under water, how to control their breath, and how to kick forward through the water. Classes are engaging, using imaginative daily themes.
It’s something that can provide a great deal of fun and family time for years to come.
At Emler Swim School, we believe that every child can learn to swim, and we are on a mission to make that happen in a safe and fun environment. We offer swim lessons to children of all ages, including our Waterbabies program for babies and toddlers. Learn more about our toddler swimming lessons and how you can get your child started below.
Dive might be a strong word in this case, as safety is foundational at Emler Swim School. However, your child will, indeed, get to have some fun – so much fun that he or she will not even realize they’re learning!
Each of our levels is built around highly structured lessons, but that will be our secret. We employ songs, games, and toys for toddlers to enjoy while they learn to submerge safely in the water, control their breathing, and kick their little bodies through the water. Each student is accompanied by their caregiver, ensuring optimal safety and that each child gets the attention they deserve until they can move independently 5 feet through the water with a breath control of 8-10 seconds.
We believe that comfort and confidence are integral for little swimmers and that parents are vital to both. You are there for every splash, kick, and joyous smile.
We celebrate every milestone with you and your child and they get to walk away feeling good about themselves after every swim lesson.
We are not fans of fostering fear or a competitive atmosphere. At Emler, we believe that children can learn to swim through love and encouragement, without the need to prove themselves or be better than their swim mates. We want little ones to develop a love of swimming and enjoy their time in the water.
Our Beaverton Emler team works to build a proficiency in swimming in your child. Every lesson and level builds upon the last and builds up to the next. This progressive method allows toddlers to truly master swimming skills and water safety.
Would you like to learn more or have additional questions? We offer virtual information sessions to help. You can also give us a call at 855-232-2006 and one of our team members will be happy to help.

These tots learn underwater breath control for 8-10 seconds! And they will learn to kick forward a distance of 5 feet through the water. They’ll have fun doing this, with daily games and to spark their enjoyment.
Kicking 5 feet is so yesterday – in the Advanced class now we learn to travel a distance of up to 12 feet! The games and themes continue to spark imagination AND the kids become familiar with the rollover breath.
Kicking progresses in the Super class up to a distance of 15 feet through the water, while completely mastering the rollover breath.
The group continues the fun and games as in this class the kids turn into true fishes – kicking a distance of 20 feet through the water while performing a rollover breath AND getting introduced to the all-important front breathing.
