Our “Littles” classes are 30 minutes long and structured as “parent and me”, with full or partial parent participation in the swimming pool, depending on the level. We offer swim classes for babies as young as 2 months old. Babies who are 2-5 months old can enroll in our “Bathtime Babies” class, where both parent and child enjoy one-on-one, uninterrupted time, and will learn water safety skills that help them be safe and comfortable during bathtime. Babies and toddlers who are 6 months+ progress into Level 1, where they will begin to build life skills using our unique “Jump, Turn, Swim” methodology which teaches children to turn around in the water and swim back to the edge to safety. Level 1 swimmers also learn how to go underwater for a full 10 seconds, which is the beginning of water safety. In Level 2, children begin to learn the basics of swimming and will end the level knowing how to kick 5 feet through the water to a destination and how to float on their backs.
Children who are age 3 will enroll in one of our Tot-level swim classes. All 3 year-olds, even those without any prior swimming experience, will start in level 3, and then progress into levels 4 & 5. Parents don’t participate in the water during our tot-level swim classes. All Tot classes have a small class size and a 4:1 ratio. In our Tot levels classes, your child will learn how to kick up to 12 ft through the water, how to hold their breath underwater, and they will advance their “Jump, Turn, Swim” safety skills. You will be amazed at just how much your child will learn during a 30-minute class using our play-based approach that utilizes fun inflatable rings, toys, and fins.
Any child who is age 4+ and does not have prior swimming experience will start in level 6, where they will learn basic water safety skills and will quickly advance to learning how to hold their breath underwater, kick 15ft through the water unassisted, and how to float on their back. In levels 7-9, children will learn how to swim with freestyle arms and get side breaths while swimming. All Kids classes have a small class size and a 4:1 ratio, and are 30-minutes long.
Our Advanced classes are for children ages 6+ who want to master the 4 strokes – freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke. In Levels 10 and 11, children will learn how to swim competitively, before graduating to our STEALTH swim team. As part of STEALTH swim team, your child will learn how to build their swimming speed, increase endurance, improve technique, and they will regularly compete in swim meets.

There are even more ways to enjoy Emler Swim School! We offer additional programs outside of our regular lessons so the fun doesn’t have to stop.
In the summer, we offer swim camps weekly for children to learn the basics of swimming in a fast-tracked daily program.
We offer private lessons for children who benefit more from a one-on-one environment and/or to help master specific skills.
Emler Swim School offers an amazing weatherproof venue where you can host pool parties year-round!
Hi, I’m Cullette! I have spent the last 25 years in the hospitality industry, with restaurants, golf courses and event planning. I was raised in the pool and was fortunate to experience many exciting opportunities because of swimming. Today you will find my household very involved with USA Swimming as my twin boys and daughter swim competitively for the Hillsboro HEAT. You will find my husband busy on deck as an official at their meets while I have kept busy with volunteering as the president of their swim team’s board.
Working at Emler has been a wonderful experience. I enjoy seeing children grow in confidence with their swimming skills. I am excited to see what their next steps in their swimming journey will be. Working with the families and finding the best fit for students is a highlight of the job.
I have experience working with a team in other management positions. This experience has allowed me to bring those skills to work with the Emler team. And that is exactly what we are, a team. We are a team that works together to help children and families conquer the skill of water safety and swimming.
I was swimming for the Las Vegas Gold for many years. I remember doing well in a certain race and my coach, Bob was so excited he pulled me out of the water to give me a hug. This is just one example of how swimming helped me become the person I am today.
I am loving the relationships I am building with the staff and families. Swimming has always been an extended family for me and I am fortunate that the family has grown even more.
As a young adult I worked for a church and had to overcome my fear of public speaking. Each weekend I would address 3,500 families. This is something I never saw myself doing. It was hard, but I am proud of myself for pushing through.
