Classes & Schedule

Littles

age 2 to 35 months
30 Min Class Class Ratio: 12:1 Class Ratio: 6:1 Class Ratio: 4:1 Adult Participation: Yes

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.

Tots

age 3 years
30 Min Class Class Ratio: 4:1 Adult Participation: No

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.

Kids

age 4 + years
30 Min Class Class Ratio: 4:1 Adult Participation: No

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.

Advanced

age 6 + years
1 Hour Class 30 Min Class Class Ratio 10:1 Class Ratio 4:1 Adult Participation: No

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.

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

The best part of working at Emler is having the opportunity to be my truest self, and have fun while doing it. Each day I get to witness children conquer their fears, and learn to save their lives. It is by far the most fulfilling job I’ve ever had!

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!
What favorite memory do you have from working 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. She would always end class with, “I love you Ms. Callie.“

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!

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!
