YOU MUST COME HERE!!! A++ school here!!! My son has been coming to Emlers Swim since he was about 5 months old. He is about to be 2 in a month now. We have loved every teacher he has had and we LOVE Aubrey (Manager). He has grown to feel comfortable with multiple staff members and he truly enjoys class every time we come. I won't say that there are days where he wants more sleep, is having a teething day or regression, but out of the hundreds of classes we have come to, he maybe has had a handful only of "bad days". The teachers always accommodated to his attitude days and we managed each time! It's great to know that you're not alone in having a wild child or rough days. Moms and dads alike always welcome you and just joke about the terrible days. It's just an inviting place as a whole! Autumn, Emmaline, Eliana, and Caitlyn have all been just delightful. We have had Caitlyn through his first year and now we have her for his level 2/ first independent swimming class series and he LOVES her. She is honestly one of my favorite people ever. She makes swimming and learning fun for them, she explains what they need to work on, and allows your child to work for themselves as well so you know the classes are working! Aubrey has always been caring and hands on. She is always watching and is just the sweetest person ever! read more

We send our two daughters (1 and 3 yo) to weekly classes here. We have been very happy with this school. Everything is very safe and organized. I love the waiting area that allows me to keep an eye on my girls during lessons. There's also a safety button to make use kids are on the right side of the door. The instructors work very well with the students. My 3 yo has some anxiety around water. Instructors are able to give her extra attention to help her become more comfortable with the water. You can also tell that everyone has a lot of experience working with very young children. They take pride in what they do. read more

My almost 4 yo son has some anxiety about swimming and has been coming to Emler for almost a year now. In the first class, he was scared to go into the water but with their help, he's gotten exponentially better and can even swim some pretty long distances. My 6-month-old at the time also took classes here and did very well. She really loves the water and she'll be back for more classes next semester. But the best part about this school is the staff. They've been so kind and accommodating making sure my children are comfortable and willing to participate on days when they've been nervous or upset. The staff and managers are professional and really care about your children and their safety which is so important when trusting someone with your kids' confidence in an important skill such as swimming. I would absolutely recommend this swim school to anyone and can't wait to see how much more progress my children will make. read more

We moved here from out of state... looking for new activities for the kids, we passed by while driving around town & we're glad we stopped by to register all three of our kids! My youngest one (almost 3) is not with it & has cried the first two lessons thus far... and both weeks, they have been super patient & never handed him back to us or complained about my unwilling toddler. They are getting him to calm down to at least play in the water...still no swimming, but at least he stops crying to play... the older two... they are having the greatest time. they encourage your children, they challenge your children, and they some how got my two kids to be less afraid of water in two weeks! ...the teachers are great, staff is super supportive... and my kids are always excited to go to their next session! read more

We LOOOOOVE Emler! Our Oldest started with Ms. Michaela at 3 months and now he is swimming and jumping and leaping - nothing holds him back at 3 years old! Thank you Emler for a huuuuge love for swimming. Big brother is now super proud to share this love with little brother who just started at 5months old! read more

My daughter LOVES her classes at Emler Swim School. We have tried other schools in the area and this one is by FAR the best one! They teach true technique and really work with the kids. It won't disappoint! read more

This place is pretty awesome. They really are knowledgeable and patient with our kid. He's swimming great. The staff here are great and fair. I strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for a swim school. read more

My daughter has swam with Emler since she was 5 months old. These teachers go above and beyond to help the kiddos learn new skills and stay safe in the water. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

We have been an Emler family for about a year now and couldn't be happier. When we first joined our girls were 3 and 6 and neither of them would even put their face in the water. Now they both swim like fishes and have excellent breath control! When we go to the neighborhood pool they love jumping in the pool. I absolutely love how Emler focused on water safety before anything else. One time I even witnessed our daughter fall in the pool at Emler and my instinct was to go inside and get her. The teacher looked at me and told me not to move, and we witnessed our little one do EXACTLY what she was taught to do if she was to fall (and of course the teacher was there for backup). It was truly amazing. Our little one mostly had Mr. Carter who has been nothing short of amazing. I was a bit skeptical on how my daughter would respond to a male teacher but she loves him so much and every time she moves up a level she is always hoping to have him again! My older one has had a few different teachers at each of her different levels and she has loved all of them. It was always so important to us that our girls know how to swim not only because it's an important skill to have but also because we will be getting a pool in our backyard and now we have comfort regarding their safety. We love Emler and would choose them every time read more

My son took swim lessons for 3 yrs at this other facility but i saw little to no improvement so we decided to switch to Emler before we completely give up and it was the best decision. He's made a huge progress already! Staffs are very professional and nice. read more

The Emerson's are so grateful to have found such an amazing swim school! Safety and fun first

Ms Callie and the staff are amazing. They go above and beyond to make your child feel comfortable in the water. Love this place!

Ok so I have a lil guy he is 8 months and he has had his ups and down but let me tell ya...... Bella his swim teacher is amazing. I seriously want to steal her because my lil man adored her. If you have a lil and want someone who is amazing with kids find her and joint her class! read more

Was shamed by a manager the first time we were ever late. Not a helpful comment from a young person that clearly doesn't have kids of their own or know what it's like to have a rough day with your kids. read more

Our family loves Elmer swim school. Staff are great with kids and they are great at communicating improvement and potential with parents!!!

We love Emler! We are so lucky to have such wonderful teachers and staff that truly care about our family. We've been a part of the Emler family since 2019. My kids love their teacher Mr.Carter. Carter is very knowledgeable and super encouraging. Both of my kids just love him. It"s wonderful to see them improve and gaining confidence and new skills. Brittany and Michaela have been supportive and wonderful to our family. They are always trying to go the extra mile to help our family. I can't imagine going anywhere other than Emler. The kids are excited about going to swim lessons and seeing their friends. Thank you, Emler for loving our kids and giving them skills that will last a lifetime. read more

Elmer has been great for our two kiddos! They each feel safe, like their instructors, and have been progressing in their beginner classes very well. We love seeing their progression each time we go tot he pool! read more

We LOVE Emler! I used to go as a kid and I'm glad Emler is still around. We won't use any other place! Waterbabies is so great! They have small class sizes and it is very hands on. read more

This swim school is amazing and our 4 year old daughter loves it. The pricing is very affordable and the staff are so friendly. We will definitely keep coming here all summer. I can already see a difference in her swimming. read more

It was great place with good instructors. Highly recommend this place. Clean pool and big size.

We have been at Emler for three years, and this weekend we threw our kids' birthday party at the Flower Mound location. What a fun place to have a party! Everyone loved it! The staff was amazing. Kat and Michaela did an awesome job as life guards; they were friendly, yet firm, and everyone felt safe in the water. Frankie was the ultimate party host and even saved a pizza for my husband and me (we had little time to eat during the party). What an outstanding experience. It was so fun to have a pool party in the winter. I highly recommend Emler, not just as a swim school, but also as an awesome party location! Thank you for all you do for me and my family! read more

My 2.5yrs old son did the fall semester lessons and went from just barely putting his head under water to swimming 12ft or 8 seconds unassisted. I now have 2 more kiddos also enrolled in the spring semester working on specific strokes to increase their endurance and form in the water. The teachers are excellent and make learning to swim fun! My kids love attending their lessons and the teachers are very engaging and interactive with them. I would highly recommend Emlers for both new swimmers and experienced swimmers as well! read more

We absolutely love Emler! My 2 year old daughter has been going there since she was two months old. She has so much confidence in the water and absolutely loves to swim. Michaela has really helped accommodate our needs and we appreciate her and all the staff! Best swim school! read more

We have been at Emler for 2 years and absolutely love it! My daughter is 4 and is an outstanding swimmer! Makes it so nice to know that if she fell in the pool she knows how to get out! After each session the kids are required to jump in with clothes and learn how to climb out. Classes are small and instructors are always great with the kids! You would never know if they were having a bad day as they are a joy with those kiddos! They also have a swim team which teaches them competitive swimming. Lots of great things to say! Never any issues with staff. You can get a free evaluation and baby classes are FREE! read more

Emler is wonderful. We've been bringing our son here since he was just a few months old. Michaela, Callie and Crystal have been such great instructors and support. The staff is always friendly and encouraging and they're ready to help to customize the experience so that our son gets the most out of his time in the pool and his lessons. We are so happy to have found Emler and recommend their program to everyone. read more

I love this facility and the staff. They always take time to answer questions and address concerns. Ms. Callie, Ian, Julia, Ms. McKayla, and Ms. Arlette are all terrific instructors and always attentive. Can't say enough good things about them. My son is not quite 3 and swims with his head underwater at least 10 seconds. He can climb out of the pool and always has a huge grin on his face. read more

staff is extremely kid-friendly, helpful, skilled, etc. facility is not as busy as southlake site which allows low kid to instructor ratio. Manager is superb. Julia, the manager, engages parents with child's progress. Staff loves working at emler, and their affection is reflected on the kids. My daughter who is almost 3 years old memorized all the songs. Most important, she enjoys swimming outside of emler. read more

We love Emler! I have two young kids in 2 different levels. My kids love Eric their swim instructor. The staff here is great and very accommodating. I have already seen good progress in their ability and they have gained more confidence in the pool. We are looking forward to pool season! read more

My daughters (5 and 2) are finishing up their first semester at Emler Swim School here in Flower Mound. Paul, the site director, is always present and working hard at ensuring the facility is top notch. We look forward to coming each week and seeing what's been added or rearranged. It's clear that he sets the tone of safety and fun at the top! The girls' coaches, Chris and Paisley, it's hard to even summarize the appreciation for them. My oldest had a bad experience with neighborhood pool lessons last year, being plunged under water not knowing how to hold her breath time after time. Chris has been just the right balance of patient, encouraging, and fun, to help her overcome her fears. She's gone from not wanting to get her face wet at all, to now swimming 'eyes in for 10' with no hesitation! Paisley is amazing with the younger group, and has also helped a timid 2 year old go from not wanting to attend lessons at all (yet still participating every week, thanks to Miss Paisley's firm, yet always fun approach), to now scooting right in off the edge to swim to her because of the trust they've developed. It's clear that Paisley can decipher the toddler nonsense that often ensues with this age, and is willing to push them just enough to see if it's stubbornness versus true fear. She's comforting when needed. A perfect balance. It's pretty amazing to see these 2 year olds with no flotation devices at all! We started lessons again to learn basic swimming skills and pool safety, both of which are covered thoroughly each week in a consistent manner with repetitive songs, so that it's all becoming instinct for the kids. I am SO thankful I researched this time, and decided to give Emler a try. Their methods are tried and tested for decades now, but it's these coaches that take the methods and apply them in a way that is individual to each student's skill set and personality. That's really what sets them apart for me. Sure wish we would have been with them from the get go, and saved ourselves the setback (this is your future voice, telling you to not try to skimp on cost if you are able and just go straight for the Emler gold!). When it came time to sign up for Summer, there was zero doubt in my mind! read more

I have a son on the autism spectrum who couldn't swim and had just turned 8. I was actually very worried he would never learn. We tried every other local swim school with no success. So I was not at all hopeful when Elmer told me they'd have him swim soon. My thought was I had to keep trying and negatively, I thought "what can one 30 minute session a week really do?" I am happy to report I was wrong and I honestly can't believe how well my son now swims. I love all the coaches and staff. I can't say enough good things about this place! read more

We absolutely LOVE Emler Flower Mound. Michaela and Brittany are wonderful managers! We loved Callie (General Manager) when she was here too! The managers are always available on deck to support students and their families. When I had a small concern, they absolutely addressed it right away. My baby has been with them since he was 11ish weeks old and is now 15m! He can swim 10s under water kicking, can monkey crawl across the wall, jump in (with support), independently crawl out, self-rescue by pulling himself up on my shirt, and has so much fun on the different climbing areas in the water. He is so confident in the water and by the end of every lesson is just GIGGLING he had so much fun. This is a gentle and responsive way of teaching swim lessons, which aligns with our style of parenting. It is not ISR, which we are glad for! They also are super inclusive. As a parent with a disability, getting in the water with a baby can be intimidating. They adapted to help us have the full and inclusive experience. Jamie will do subtle check ins with me and it is not obvious what she is doing. It is just a really wonderful and AFFORDABLE place! read more

My husband & I enrolled our 4 year old daughter in Emler's summer swim program after visiting 2 other swim schools in the area and having an unpleasant experience. Starting off, she was scared to jump in by herself, scared to put her face & head under water, and was generally very nervous alone in the water. After a month, she is now able to swim independently without any floaties or assistance with her face & head in the water. She is also able to get out of the pool independently from the deep end. The instructors are all very child friendly, patient, and so kind. My husband & I are very proud of our girl and grateful to the staff & teachers at Emler, especially Ms. Callie! Thanks to her, our daughter loves swimming. Although it sounds like a lot initially, when you break it down, the classes are around $25 a session for 30 minutes, once a week. For us, it is worth every penny! Don't settle for the other competitors, check out Emler before enrolling elsewhere! read more

This place is amazing! My four year old son has not only a blast with his teacher but has learned so much! Highly recommend Emler in Flower Mound read more

My 4 yr old daughter started taking lessons at the FM Emler in the summer of 2016, and we continued on for the fall semester. She loves it, and she loves her teachers. (specifically Ms Josie and Ms Callie!!!) They are great and work very well with children in gaining their confidence in the water. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Being a working parent with other children in various activities they make it easy to find a class day and time that is right for you. read more

Fantastic swim school! Excellent instructors, clean facility, fun and effective teaching methods!

My husband and I took our 2 month old here to take advantage of the free water babies classes until he turned 6 months old; it was great! The classes are well ran with great teachers! Ms Victoria was great with our baby! We signed up for the next round of classes and are looking forward to it starting in January! Love this place...everyone has been great!! Would highly recommend!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Ian at Emler. My son (who was recently diagnosed with high-functioning Autism) was hysterical and could not make it through a swim lesson at another nearby swim facility last year. We switched to Emler this year, and Grayson absolutely loves Mr. Ian. He has gone above and beyond to bond with Grayson and try to figure out why he is afraid of the water. Unfortunately, he doesn't teach many classes since he is a manager, but we've so appreciated that he's taken the time and energy to not give up on our son and to try to make the water fun for him. Grayson still doesn't know how to swim and still gets upset about his face in the water, but I thought it was worth writing a review and if they can get him to have fun in class, that's progress! Consistency is hard since he seems to mostly only do well with Ian, but hopefully he will gain more confidence over time. :) read more
