My son has had a great experience at Emler. I've been particularly impressed with his current instructor, Britney. My son's group is wild and Britney has done a masterful job of harnessing their energy in a positive way. She brings tremendous enthusiasm to every class and makes the experience fun as well as educational for the kids. My son has made great strides across various strokes under her guidance.

Brittany and Mary at the Westlake location are AMAZING. We have been going to Elmer since our baby was 3 months and now at a year old he has 6 seconds of breath control and is already starting to swim. My wife felt apprehensive about putting the baby under water at first, and the instructors have made her feels confident and more comfortable. She and our baby enjoy the classes so much each week.

We’re an Emler family. We’ve had both our daughters taking classes here. The teachers are amazing, the facility clean, and everything is top notch.Getting the kids in the water when the weather is bad or cold, is priceless.Our oldest even had her birthday party here. It was an amazing time since we could have a pool party in December.We’re so happy to have found this swim school.

Emler Westlake is the best! My child has really enjoyed taking swim lessons. The teachers and staff are very welcoming and nice. They are always very helpful and support your child’s growth in the pool. I highly recommend signing your child up. You’ll love it here!

Miss Emily is amazing. She teaches my three-year old's swim lessons. She is very creative with the themes and excited to be there. It's so nice to see my son giggling and having fun while learning to swim.

Ms. Mary, Ms.Emily, and the staff at Emler Westlake have gone above and beyond to teach our girls the fundamentals of swimming. Both teachers make class fun while still having high expectations for all swimmers. Our daughters love swim class and ask to go at least three times a week!

My toddler went from being terrified of swimming to looking forward to classes with Emler. We’ve also been taking my 6 month old to classes and regret not taking my eldest at this age now, baby instincts to swim are strong when smaller. Shout out to Megan the manager who is so helpful and welcoming.

Swim lessons saved my 3.5 year old son’s life this summer 2023. He accidentally fell into our pool while playing near the edge during a party we were hosting - at least 7 people were standing within 10 feet of him, and one 6yo kid was already in the pool… and NOT ONE PERSON SAW HIM FALL IN. It wasn’t until we watched the security camera footage later that we even knew what happened. He lost his balance, fell in, fully submerged, turned around 180° and climbed out via steps.We were completely shocked, embarrassed and terrified at our lack of oversight, but I also feel proud of him because he knew what to do.Emler taught me - and it’s so important that other people understand too - that **IF “EVERYONE” IS WATCHING THE POOL, THEN NO ONE IS WATCHING THE POOL.**Next time we have a swim party, we will designate an adult water watcher in 15 min increments.For reference, we started him in the waterbabies class at 10 months old until 18 months - he learned to love the water and swim for 10 seconds while holding his breath.Then we took a year hiatus before buying a house with a pool. We did a week of immersive private lessons to teach him more respect for the water and to rely less on an adult in the water and more on getting to the side. Finally, on 4/28 this year, we had him evaluated at Emler and they placed him in the appropriate Aquatots class. He started in May and the first thing he learned was “if I fall in, which wall do I swim to” and the answer is so simple - “the wall I fell off of!” It was about 1 month later that this incident happened.Y’all. Get your kids enrolled. They have a bazillion options for your child, and Megan and John are so NICE and helpful.

We’ve been taking lessons at Emler for 9 (!) years. We recently did3 weeks of daily lessons to improve our 7 year old’s strokes. His teacher Myan has been excellent and we have seen so much improvement! She is warm and has a great rapport with the kids. Also can’t say enough great things about the manager Mr John who always greets us by name.

Emler is an excellent swim school! Their methods are very effective, and the instructors are high quality. We’ve liked how they push the kids to learn more, but always keep things positive. Over the summer, we’ve enjoyed daily lessons because kiddos can make quick progress and build on their skills efficiently (plus, they can immediately apply what they’ve learned at pool parties and such). The manager and her lieutenant staff at the Westlake location are excellent.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the remarkable impact Mr.Von have had on our daughter's life. At the age of 6, she had a strong fear of water, which made learning how to swim incredibly challenging for her. However, everything changed when we had the privilege of meeting Mr.Von.His expertise, patience, and genuine care for our daughter's well-being made all the difference. Under his guidance, she not only overcame her aquaphobia but also gained the confidence to embrace swimming. His teaching methods were effective and tailored to her specific needs, creating a safe and supportive environment for her to learn and grow.I am truly amazed by the progress she has made under your tutelage. Witnessing her transformation from a fearful child to a confident swimmer has been a joyous experience for our entire family.Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are forever grateful for your exceptional skills as a swimming instructor and the invaluable gift of confidence you have given our daughter.

Instructors are amazing, lack of flexibility in makeups is terrible.Lauren and John are fantastic instructors, as is Ella. My daughter gave a hard no about getting in the pool, but Lauren and John managed to convince her and then went above and beyond to give her more time in the pool that she had missed.The staff is amazing, but overall I’m not satisfied with Elmer’s reimbursement policy. With young kids, it’s natural to miss classes - they get sick all the time! But emler only lets you makeup 2 classes the whole program, and you have to purchase the makeups!! Overall we will miss out on about $100 of value due to this policy. British swim school allows unlimited makeups.
