Our daughter has had a blast learning how to swim at Emler! Isaiah and Niki have been working with our 4yo, and her skills have drastically improved over the last 4 months. Isaiah is very focused and patient with her and Niki pushes her to keep trying, even when she’s having an off day! We feel very fortunate to have them as her instructors. They do boat safety training once a month, which teaches the kids additional skills outside of the pool.

Bath time babies with our first instructor Jaide was so great! She was nice and attentive and genuinely seemed to enjoy teaching the kiddos
Graduated to the next phase like bath time babies 2 for when you’re still under 1
Sami was rude overall negative energy I changed classes after the first class with her. She seemed impatient and annoyed. You chose to do this at least pretend to like it. Unfortunately, she teaches so many classes I stopped going after that session the only reason Emler is popular is due to lack of options and the abundance of their locations.

We have been at Emler Oak Hill since our daughter was 1 year, she now is 3 and in level 4. The teachers and experience has been wonderful and convenient to do year-round swim lessons given their indoor heated pool.
The teachers have been amazing and attentive. We have been lucky to get Sammy and Jaide, who are so patient but also challenge our daughter in a positive way. They are so great with kids and a pros at making swimming fun! Our daughter definitely feels safe with them. We have had 2 new teachers in the past at starts of new semesters that did not stack up to the skillset we had with Sammy and Jaide. Management has been really receptive to feedback and really focuses on strengthening their instructors skillsets or moves them out- making sure that the value you pay for class is being seen. An instructor can be night and day in a child’s experience with them feeling safe in the water and thriving, and Emler sees the importance of that. In both those cases, we were lucky to have Sammy and Jaide take over the classes after the 4th session. John and team have also been great in working with us on private sessions and 1:1 swim time anytime focus training was needed on improving skill sets.
Everyone we interact with at Emler is embracing and welcoming to all the kids and parents. I can’t say enough praises about our experience with Sammy, Jaide and the general manager John. It’s been why we have continued with Emler, it’s why our daughter has a love for swimming and it’s something we enjoy doing on the weekends. Huge thank you to Sammy and Jaide for being amazing teachers and swim instructors

This is been such a great experience. We started our son when he was 10 months and now he is over two years and he is swimming so well. Niki is the best, he Can’t stop talking about wanting to swim with her next week.

Love the small class sizes and Sami was an amazing teacher for my 3yo daughter who transferred from another class mid season! It took my daughter awhile for her to warm up/participate and she did not make it easy on Sami in the beginning, but Sami really got through to her and she did great! Sami was there for every class, which is a big deal for that age, and was always on point and full of energy. Both our girls learned how to swim at Emler Oak Hill!

Exceptional Experience at Emler Swim School of Austin - Oak HillI cannot speak highly enough about my experience at Emler in Oak Hill. Paul D. and the instructors consistently go above and beyond to ensure a positive and enriching environment for their students. From the moment we stepped in and every inch along the way, we felt welcomed and supported. The instructors' dedication to their craft is evident in every lesson, and their commitment to the progress and well-being of their students is truly commendable. I highly recommend Emler - Oak Hill to anyone seeking quality instruction and a heartfelt positive swim experience. Thank you for your outstanding service!

The managers and instructors are amazing and have gone out of their way to help my kids learn to swim! My son is afraid of getting his eyes/ears wet and Emler have come up with a customized plan and additional 1:1 time with his instructor to make sure he feels comfortable in the water so he can continue with his lessons. They are so patient and professional, THANK YOU EMLER!!!

This place is amazing! Our son (2.5 years old) was initially uncomfortable in the pool. The staff went at his pace and made it so much fun for him. He’s progressing so fast and loves coming to the pool now! Highly recommend!

Great school! The staff is great and the coaches are too. Coaches have been very patient and helpful with my 3yo. We plan on sending our younger child here too.
