Frequently Asked Questions

 

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.

Q+A with Amanda

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

The best part about working for Emler every day is the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of our students and their families. Seeing the progress and growth of our swimmers, witnessing their confidence soar in the water, and knowing that we are contributing to their safety and well-being is incredibly rewarding.

What do you believe makes you a great general manager?

I believe what makes me great is my dedication to creating a safe and nurturing environment for both staff and students. I prioritize clear communication, fostering a positive team culture, and ensuring that our swim program runs smoothly and efficiently. I strive to lead by example, inspiring my team to deliver exceptional instruction and customer service.

Share a childhood memory about your experience with swim lessons.

During my childhood swim lessons, reaching the highest level, “Dolphin,” was a big accomplishment. To celebrate, we were able to jump off the tall diving board into the 12ft pool. The pure enjoyment from that opportunity is a cherished memory.

What favorite memory do you have from working at Emler?

My favorite memory from working at Emler is when I had the opportunity to help a student overcome their fear of water. This particular student had a frightening experience at a neighborhood pool and refused to get into the water. Through three private lessons, I worked patiently with them, providing reassurance and guidance. Witnessing their transformation from fear to enjoyment, as they regained their confidence and began swimming again, was an incredibly rewarding and unforgettable moment.
