Why Private Lessons?

At Emler Swim School, we believe in the benefit of group swimming lessons. Children learn by observing other children, and our small class ratios ensure individualized attention from the instructor. However, some parents may find that their child would benefit from private swim lessons, or want to use private swim lessons to supplement group swimming lessons.

It is ideal for the parent to join the baby and instructor in the water to help make the baby more comfortable, or the baby can work with the instructor while the parent observes from the poolside or from the observation room.
