My daughter Lilly is a great little swimmer. She has a healthy fear of the water while at the same time enjoys swimming. Lilly has attended Emler since she was 6 months (now almost 2). She is strong at kicking and can hold her breath 10-12 seconds! The Emler staff has made the whole experience a pleasure and great learning experience. I have not had one instructor that has not been wonderful. I intend on continuing with Emler for some time to come.
Audrey, our 3 1/2 year old daughter, was playing by our pool with her new puppy on a sunny day this past January. We were all outside enjoying the beautiful day cleaning and doing some yard work. Sally, our puppy, slipped and fell in the pool and Audrey quickly went to her rescue lifting her out of the pool without any fear. The water was freezing cold, so we rushed the puppy inside to dry her.
As we were inside Audrey somehow fell in the pool. Once we heard the "splash" we looked out the window and all ran to now rescue our daughter! The time it took to reach the pool seemed an eternity. Audrey did not panic, she swam to the side of the pool and pulled herself out using her arms, just the way she was taught at Emler. By the time we arrived, she was already out of the pool!! We were so proud of her! Thanks for the swim classes.
The class program AB (Advance Beginner) is great! Cameron wasn't able to swim by himself when he started the classes, now he is able to cross the whole swimming pool by himself, all of that after only 1 course! That's great. Mr. Chris is awesome; he is very patient and he knows how to motivate the kids to try and do the things right! The Manager (Supervisor) is very good also. He is always asking the parents for their input and he doesn't mind jumping in the swimming pool to personally help him/her whenever there is a problem. I'm very happy with my son's improvement. I have recommended "Emler" to all my friends. "Good Job Emler"
My son, Zeke, has Oliver as an instructor. I can't emphasize enough what a great choice Oliver has been (for us and for Emler) and what a perfect match they are. Oliver is amazingly tuned in and sensitive to his students' needs, but also pushes them to do their best. He always seems to be aware of all his busy, wiggly little swimmers and I feel completely confident with him. He also was lifeguard for Zeke's large birthday party here at Emler and patiently, competently and very attentively managed the whole group and had fun with them.
He bonds instantly with the most anxious child (my child is the perfect example) and earns their trust and affection very quickly. Oliver does a superb job at keeping Zeke focused, calm, and very happy with his swimming lessons. Zeke has made great progress and he now considers swimming his very favorite activity. Zeke has had a tough year and developing this strength has given him a wonderful boost of self-esteem and confidence, which I credit largely to Oliver's unbelievable teaching ability.
