Frequently Asked Questions

 

Are pools safe to swim in during COVID?

Yes, it’s safe to be in pools! According to the CDC, there is no evidence that the coronavirus can spread through properly maintained pools. We’ve always valued health and safety, which is why we already had a top-of-the-line purification system with UV lights that kills and inactivates viruses and bacteria in addition to using proper chlorine levels. Every Emler pool meets or exceeds CDC health standards. Plus, our leading-edge air filtration systems replace stale air from the facility with fresh air 8 times per hour.

What are your class ratios?

We’ve always had small class sizes of 3-4 kiddos, as well as private lessons, and nothing has changed. We now offer the option to form your own private group with family, friends or neighbors you know. Additionally, another option is the parent & child class, with appropriate spacing between families in the pool, where kids receive instruction from a teacher on the deck. We are monitoring and strictly adhering to all local, state and federal guidelines regarding levels of occupancy and the number of people that are allowed in gatherings so we can continue to be the healthiest, happiest pool in town.

How can I learn more about swim lessons?

You can get in touch with us in many different ways – call 855-232-2006, fill out this form or sit in on a virtual live information session that guarantees there won't be any phone tag. We host them on Zoom at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Central, Monday through Thursday. You can have your camera turned on or off, whatever you're most comfortable with! Sign up here.

How To Prepare Your Kids For a Lifetime of Swimming Safety

1. Start teaching kids water safety early.

Teaching kids to swim needs to happen as early as possible to prevent the risk of accidental drowning. Formal swim lessons result in an 88% reduction in drowning risk for children ages 1 to 4, studies have found, and children ages 1 to 4 have the highest drowning rates, according to the CDC. At Emler Swim School, safety is our top priority and why we are so passionate about teaching swim lessons. We want to empower children and their families with the water safety information they need to protect themselves.

2. Teach kids in a supportive environment.

Evidence tells us that children learn best in encouraging, supportive environments. At Emler Swim School, we create a warm, safe atmosphere to help children feel free to explore and try new things that may scare them initially. We know some children find the water daunting and we want to do everything we can not only to help them feel comfortable in the water but also enjoy swimming and playing in the pool.

3. Make swimming lessons fun with positive reinforcement.

Songs, games and playing make-believe are part of the curriculum. Progress is measured and milestones are celebrated, both big and small. Through encouraging words and high-fives during every class, learning to swim is as fun as possible. While safety is our number one priority, students also learn a love for the water.

4. Repetition, repetition, repetition.

Just like any skill or sport, perfect practice makes perfect. In the case of water safety, proper swimming and safety skills become muscle memory. The more a child is doing a specific activity, the more it becomes an instant reaction. If a little one finds themself unexpectedly in water, it is ideal for their instincts and muscle memory to take over without much conscious effort. One of the most popular lesson days at Emler is when the kids jump in the pool with all their clothes on so they know what it feels like to be in water in something other than bathing suits. They then turn around to the wall for a safe exit.

5. Celebrate progress!

Both small and large achievements are celebrated, as mentioned earlier. For some kids, putting their face in the water is a big step forward, so we recognize and applaud this. We have informal and formal ways of marking progress, from showering the little swimmers with praise to providing ribbons of completion at the end of a level. At Emler, swimming is made as fun and rewarding as possible while teaching the basics of water safety so all the kiddos feel confident around water.

Michaela McMellan

I was born and raised in the DFW area, and discovered Emler while I was still in high school. I was fortunate enough to attend a nearby college, The University Of North Texas (UNT) , so I could continue my career with Emler. At UNT I received an undergrad in Advertising with a minor in marketing. When I’m not at work, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, at the gym, or planning my next Disney vacation! I’m passionate about water safety and hope to save as many lives as possible at Emler Swim School!

Q+A with Michaela

What is the best part about working for Emler every day?

The children at Emler are a constant joy and light in my life. Every day when I come to work, I get to hang out with kids I adore while teaching them lifesaving skills.  Knowing I’m making a difference in their lives, is my favorite aspect of working with children.

What do you believe makes you a great site director?

I consider all my staff and customers as family, and I want them to succeed. I have mentored multiple staff members into promotions and internships, and nothing gives me joy like seeing our students make progress and smash their goals!

Share a childhood memory about your experience with swim lessons.

When I was a young child, I almost became a statistic. At 3 years old, I fell into a cold lake in winter without a life jacket. Although my brother was able to get help and save me, I understand firsthand the importance of swim lessons and water safety!

What is a favorite memory you have about working with us at Emler?

Picking out my favorite memory at Emler is difficult because I have so many! One thing that sticks out to me is a special student named Everly. I first met Everly in my Super Waterbabies class where it was her first time being in the water without parents. We instantly became best friends! I helped her be brave and learn to be independent, while she taught me everything I needed to know about Paw Patrol.

Share a childhood memory when you were brave and overcame fear.

Growing up, I was never much of a public speaker. I’m definitely an extrovert and I don’t mind performing on a stage, but public speaking was always scary for me. Working at Emler, I got to practice with parent talks, leading staff meetings, and giving announcements. This helped me find my voice, and I can now say that it’s now one of my strong suits!
