Elmer Swim School in Allen is fantastic! My daughter (3) and son (5) have been attending lessons…read morefor over a year now, and we couldn't be happier. We've tried several swim schools in the area, and this one is by far the best. The instructors truly pay attention to each child's progress and make sure they're developing the skills needed to confidently move up to the next level. I completely trust the instructors, which gives me such peace of mind. Highly recommend!

It's been years since I updated my review of Emler. We were weekly attenders for years, until Covid…read moreand then came back for weekly lessons in 2023, but then school got in the way. While we don't do weekly lessons at Emler any longer, I was pleased to find their daily swim lessons available for the summer. I looked in May and June and was delighted they had so many MORNING options. I booked three separate weeks of dailies for my daughter. The online registration was easy & simply. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. During the first week my daughter "graduated" to the next level and we needed to change the remaining lessons, but the front desk handled it all and made the process very smooth. My daughter was fortunate enough to have Angel as her instructor for all three weeks and she was great with all the kids in her class and did a great job communicating with us parents. I would definitely recommend Emler to anyone looking for weekly, monthly or daily swim classes.

Poorly managed location:…read more 1. Continually ends classes earlier than scheduled (5-10 minutes from what is normally scheduled to end). Today we had a makeup class for a class they canceled last minute due to pool issues. The instructor today only provided a 15 minute lesson to what should have been 30 minutes. When asked why she didn't have an answer. Called manager and she continually put me on hold. Complete waste of time 2. They have canceled classes 2 times for quality issues with the pool water. 3. Management have very entry level management skills. They come off like they don't care and are over worked. However when you go in they are usually sitting around with each other chatting. Find either another swim school or a different location. We would NOT recommend this location. When we requested to cancel they said they would not cancel until an additional 30 days from notice. We will be disputing and posting feedback on Facebook.

I was at ASI but they didn't teach me anything but here I actually learn stuff and yeah I just think its an awesome place and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a place that focuses on stuff you need to learn rather then stuff you already know.

Even after all this time, my son who is a teenager now, remembers this event. At the time he…read morecouldn't explain very well what happened as he had a language disorder. Now he can explain exactly what happened. Ms. Sharla was furious that he and another boy were playing when they were supposed to be quiet. She picked him up, shoved him forward with great force against some cabinets, catching his back on the counter top above the cabinets. At the time and to this day, I can't believe the deceit. At first she said nothing happened. Then she said she assisted him to time out. Then she said he fell off a table. I still have the pictures of the bruise on his back. It was a heartbreaking event. From reading other reviews, it doesn't sound like much has changed.

Classes were ok, I'm an adult learning to swim I don't feel Ann has as much patients with adults as…read moreshe has with children. She even said, it's easier to teach children and while this may be factual the context of the comment had a negative impact to the hearer. Her price point was fair, the pool is small and not deep so difficult to learn things like treading water etc... great location in Rockwall and she was oddly pleasant what i mean is she seemed a bit uncomfortable I'm not sure if this is her innate demeanor or she was uncomfortable around specific types of people, not certain just and observation.

We love Ann's Swim Class! Some of the things we like:…read more -Lessons are semi-private, meaning there are only 2 kids in the class. -Classes are held in a private residential pool that is clean and shaded. -There are three different seating areas where parents/families can sit to watch the lesson. At least one area is always in the shade. -We work with Kale. Since he is also a school teacher, he understands how to be calm and encouraging, yet firm and disciplined. We have never had Anne as our instructor, but she handles the business end of it, and has always been friendly and organized. I think very highly of their character. -Students swim for the ENTIRE thirty minutes. They never waste time sitting on the step waiting for someone else to take a turn. ***This is very different from the large swim school we tried last year. The classes were so big that only 10-15 minutes was spent swimming. The rest of the time was spent sitting on the step waiting for the other kids to take their turns. - While the instructor (Kale) works with one child privately, he gives the other child an assignment or task to work on independently. Examples of independent tasks for a beginner: putting face underwater on the step to grab fish; wearing a flotation device to practice scooping; and using a barbell to kick from one side of the pool to the other. -The price is very reasonable. It only cost $10 more for a semi-private class here (only 2 students in the class) than a group class with 6 students at a large swim school. Worth it.

Totally hesitant to start swim school during coronavirus and all... but my daughter really needed…read moreto learn how to swim! I came and I saw how this swim school operates and I was impressed. We enrolled right away. Classes are really small and the teachers give great personalized instruction to each kid. My girl, who was afraid to put her face in the water, went from hanging on the side of the pool to swimming 1/2 way across the width of the pool (without floaties or help!) within a matter of weeks. They do a temp check upon entering the school for kids and parents alike and have spaced out chairs for parent viewing. And they are constantly cleaning the space. We love coming here to swim!

It is right off of 121 and is super convenient, no matter where you are coming from. Cleanliness: 5/5. A lot of pools and schools can sometimes feel cluttered. Every time I've been everything has been very organized. Its a swim school so obviously there will be water in common areas near the pool. I am so grateful that they have adult swimming classes. I do wish they had alternative time options, but just the fact they have this is a 5/5 for me. The staff and instructors are all very friendly. Everyone always seems to have a smile on their face which makes getting into a pool a little less anxious. I have never had any issues with customer service. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for swim lessons, regardless if it is for adults or kids! You will not be disappointed!

Echoing what some other reviewers have said. After a year of classes 1-2 days per week my 4 year…read moreold has not moved up to the next level and still cannot swim. They have a revolving door of instructors and he has never had the same one consistently more than 3 weeks in a row over the course of an entire year. So every time we get someone new they say the same thing "oh well I'm not comfortable moving him up until I see him do the moves consistently several weeks in a row." Can't happen when they change instructors all the time. They always either start late or end early, and with 4 kids in the class they get very little one on one with the instructor. It feels like a waste of time and they are just trying to take your money with no concern over developing each child. Just going through the motions.

Either staff didn't show or pool equipment was broken, which is all understandable. I asked them to stop our membership as we have 4 make up classes and summer is upon us. Their response is as follow: Good afternoon, I am so sorry about the late response on our part, unfortunately you guys do have to be enrolled for at least on day per week of swimming to be able to use those makeup lessons. So we have to continue paying to receive the service we already paid for and was canceled by them. I will take my losses and don't want any compensation, but want every family to be aware of how they treat their customers. Rest assured we won't be back to finish our current month.

So torn how to rate them because I love the idea of the place, but it's just so filthy. I've seen…read moreso many reviews of how clean they are, but in my experience, it's the dirtiest gym I've ever been. I see some of the trainers push around a mini dust buster or use dirty, dust coated dusters pushing around more dust and dirt, but I've never seen anything be sanitized or any cleaning products come out. The corners of the gym and the bottom of every machine are coated in dirt and dust. The sign in desk is always coated in a layer of dust. They don't even bother to turn on the fans anymore because they are so dusty. I mean COATED. Speaking of fans, it's always boiling hot in there. It's uncomfortable. They need to spend a little money and have the place professionally cleaned minimum once a week. All other gyms I've belonged to hired DAILY cleaners. I don't think once a week, especially when they're only open 6 days, in a building where people sweat and touch things all day, is asking too much. They also need to get rid of their (basically empty) glade plug ins. Somehow the gym rarely smells, which is great, but those plug ins emit VOCs and are terrible for your lungs. That's the last thing you need to worry about in a gym where breathing is key. And crank up the AC year round. I know it's expensive, but that's the nature of the business. I wish they had a few more machines, but for the size of the place they have a nice set up. It could be a great little neighborhood gym. I enjoy going, I'm just always worried about getting overheated or sick. They have a good thing going here. Everyone is nice and respectful. Just needs some TLC.

In addition to the treadmill for 45 minutes, I am also working out with weights. Jonathon is a very methodical trainer. We get a lot done in those 30 minutes of weight training. Jonathon is an excellent communicator. He enjoys talking and making sure that your form is on par. He genuinely cares about his clients. The gym is very adequately furnished. The price of membership is very reasonable. I believe it is only $20 per month. There are no children allowed in the facility. I will continue to come here six days a week and train. Since starting, I have lost over 60 pounds.
