My twins attended another swim school for several months where the approach did not sit well with…read moreme. It got to a point where I thought it was doing more harm than good. I was discouraged and disappointed but didn't want to give up on my kids learning to swim. Then I found My swim buddy!! Tiffany listened to my concerns and needs and it immediately felt like a partnership. I never feel like a number, she genuinely cares about my kids learning. She has really helped them now have a love for swimming, so much they don't want to leave They went from not wanting to get their face wet when we started a few short weeks ago, to now both going under on their own. And one of my twins literally swam across the pool today with little help. I am so happy with the progress! Tiffanys tailored approach to each kid and meeting them where they are is unmatched. It's very hard to find, believe me I've looked. You will not be disappointed!!! I highly recommend My swim buddy!

Tiffany is awesome! She taught my 2 year old to swim in two weeks! We are looking forward to many…read moremore sessions.

Even though my son had taken Water Babies and Advanced Aqua Tots for the last two summers he is…read morestill very afraid of the water. We started off this school year with an Advanced Aqua Tots class and after about 6 classes I was ready to throw in the towel. I knew I would be doing him a disservice in the long run by taking him out of swim but the constant screaming during the class was getting to me. He would even run from me when it was time to get his swim suit on and there wasn't much improvement during the 15 minute car ride to Emler. We tried switching teachers and classes but nothing worked. I was then approached by the manager, Mrs. Devon and she recommended private classes. To start off she did two classes with my son and then Ms. Emily stepped in. What a transformation my son has made. When I tell him it is time to go to swim he starts jumping up and down and after one lesson he even got upset because it was time to leave. My son is not the same "swimmer" he was a month ago and it is amazing to see Ms. Emily dial into the things that he likes and in return we get results. Her patience and kindness has been amazing. I can see the trust that my son has for her and that is huge coming from a kid that has a fear of drowning. I can't thank Mrs. Devon and Ms. Emily enough for their efforts as I was on the brink of quitting. Not only was my son screaming for the entire 30 minutes, I was trying to juggle a busy toddler. My nerves were shot. I am forever grateful for Mrs. Devon and Ms. Emily as well as the rest of the staff at Emler who have worked with my son.

Do not recommend Emler Swim School. I brought my 6‑month‑old and the class was chaotic and…read moregenuinely terrifying. We canceled our membership the same day with the manager (possibly the owner), who assured us it was handled--yet Emler kept charging us for two more months. I expect professionalism and accountability from any company working with infants. Instead, we were met with poor class management and unacceptable billing practices. We moved to a different swim school and have had none of these issues. Parents: be cautious--do not provide your financial information unless you're prepared to fight charges after you stop attending.

Well, I had high hopes after seeing small changes but I now realize Emler is all talk. They slap a…read morebandaid on things and hope no one notices. My kids have gone here for two years. My oldest we have seen regress in swim since we moved here. He's been doing the same skills for two years! No changes or progression to more advanced skills. I also never get updates other than what I'm told at the end of class, which is literally the same thing each time. There's a high turn over for instructors here. If they actually show up to class they are late or unprepared. My "favorite" was the one who showed up late and laughed about the fact that she was late because she was hung over and slept in. Some of the employees are very unprofessional. They talk about customers within ear shot of other customers. It's incredibly inappropriate and immature. The facility itself is pretty disgusting. The bathrooms always have dead bugs on the floor and they reek of pee. The changing rooms have hair all over them and the drains don't drain well so you're often stuck standing in murky water. They have a new policy about makeups. If you cancel a class and try to make it up, they charge you $15. If THEY cancel your class, you can make it up but you're still charged $15! It's ridiculous the way you are nickel and dimmed. If you're looking for a place to babysit your kid at an expensive cost for 30 minutes, this is the place for you. If you are looking for somewhere that will actually teach your child to swim, I highly recommend going elsewhere

My daughter really likes the instructors that work with the girls and the time and attention given. They also appreciate interacting with the parents of the other students since the class is filled with youngsters requiring a parent in the water as well. I also like that they have a bunch of bright clean restrooms and I like that Emler is in such a nice location. I will say some members of the front desk staff could be more welcoming by taking a few seconds to look up from their computers to greet incoming students,parents and guests.

For those who like lists. 1. Management.. ie.. Andrew is…read moreconsistent, well spoken, and thorough (and just a nice guy!) 2. Instructors are hands on and willing to listen. Team of staff always have been cordial and helpful. 3. Newer facility so obviously clean and well maintained. 4. Updates on progression given via email regularly. 5. Pricing is fair and comparable if not a little better than others. No matter how many reviews u read, everyone's experience differs. But give it a shot and give them a call. My son thrived here on so many levels...and he was very afraid of the water ... so to have seen him crack out of his shell in a matter of 1 session... This was HUGE.

Donna is knowledgeable in instructing swimming. She definitely helped put my worries at ease with…read moreher competency. My kids were able to go from having no skills, to being able to float, being able to grab onto the side of the pool and climb out, and put there faces in the water while kicking. Each kid had their own unique anxiety about different parts of the swimming lessons and Donna was flexible with customizing what each kid needed. All of my kids went from being nearly terrified of putting their heads in the water to finding something they looked forward to doing in the water. Also, she has very clear communication about the swim lessons via email that made me feel comfortable before I ever got to the pool.

My son absolutely loved his swim lessons at AU! When he was younger, he had a bad experience with…read moreswim lessons. Because of this I was worried he would still be fearful of the water and learning to swim. However, Ms Donna and her helpers made him feel so comfortable - to the point that at the end of class he didn't want to leave the pool! They are so knowledgeable about everything and you can tell they really care about the kids. If you want swim lessons for your children, Aquatics University is the place to go.

I wanted to take my time before posting this review to make sure I had time for my feelings to…read moresettle and to give the manager and owner time and the opportunity to fix my issues. After speaking with both of them and the owner saying in his own words to me "I can see why you are so upset I would be furious if that happened to me and my child" and then not fixing my issue - I feel as though I have a clear conscience leaving this review. I have an almost 3 year old who has taken group and private lessons at this facility. I felt the 1-2 year old slot was way below his level, but he wasn't able to do the 3 year old classes due to him needing more one in one attention. I agree with the assessment of him being taught the curriculum of the next level one on one until he was emotionally more mature and wouldn't be a distraction to other children in class. I certainly wouldn't want him to be the reason other kids didn't get the time they paid for because he isn't capable of standing and waiting his turn. Back to the reason for me being so disappointed and displeased with my overall experiences with Blast... on two different occasions my son showed up for preplanned private class makeups and on both occasions we were turned away because of a "front desk error" per their words where they double booked it. On both occasions my child was booked first and they were unable or unwilling to let him have his lesson and chose to let the other people take his spot. After the first occasion I was upset and asked to drop- the manager called me to smooth it over and suggested she refund me rather than reschedule. I agreed to this. Back in November the same thing happens again. I do not feel the front desk is competent to schedule, to direct families and control who is in the pool in a fair way and I feel their attitudes are accusatory, rude and completely unprofessional and unapologetic. They act as if I am out of line in asking for a refund when I have been mistreated and my son has been mistreated more than once. I have also experienced several rescheduling of days and several instructors in a short period of time. When new instructors came along I gave feedback that I didn't want to get anyone in trouble but that it seemed they had no idea how his class was to be structured at first. When you are paying almost $300 a month for private lessons- I feel like there should have been more training and an understanding before switching instructors. These are my top two reasons for my one star review. I wish I could have found a happy resolution but again - I spoke to both several times and never once got an apology. I hope if you go here you have a better experience. Also be warned or maybe just good to know that the manager is the mother of one of the main front desk people ... so when they say I'm calling the manager .... Don't expect the manager or mother to side with you - at least that's been my experience.
