Emler Swim School of Firewheel

My nieces have always been fish, this place though has really broken them out of their shell. I was brought here thinking it would be like a swim school where you're out in the blistering sun hoping to find a shady spot to watch the kids but it's all indoors!The girls love their instructor and she really hammers the concepts in their heads in a fun and loving way. Like me, the nieces are motivated by candy and this instructor would reward them for listening well and following instructions. Each of their sessions were only about 30 mins but it was incredible how much the instructor was able to get in during that time. At the end of each session the instructor calls in the parents and visitors so they can demonstrate what they learned. This is an awesome approach!Great swim school and great instructors, hands down!

Went to a birthday party here for my daughter. It was super cute. They did a really good job. They have rules if your child can not swim from one side of the pool to the other then they will provide a life jacket. They also have toys and floats. No need to get in pool if your child can't swim and is over a certain age. The life guards really do their job.

The staff and teachers are nice and friendly. The establishment is clean. But there were three things that I didn't care for- Firstly, scheduling can be quite hit or miss. I often had to leave a message or email, which made communication delayed and sometimes frustrating.Secondly, I recorded portions of each lesson. And honestly- the last lesson (after two months of lessons) was exactly the same as the first. I had to ask for the teacher to challenge my daughter and to show her how to kick her legs, not just say "kick, kick, kick... good," when she didn't kick! I wish they had a progress card with set goals. They had "scripts" for each week... but there was zero progress.Thirdly, the commitment to an entire semester was our breaking point. You can do month to month, but it costs more. So it wasn't a bad experience... but it wasn't great. And for the tuition... I'd really like to see the teacher encouraging progress- not stay comfortable with stagnation.

We are in our third semester at Emler. Both of my kids have made great progress. I feel like the swim teachers really care about my kids and I love that they know how to interact with my children. They know what my kids need and the teachers are really good at what they do. All of the teachers have been great, I just want to add that Laurie Ann is absolutely amazing. She has taught both of them at different semesters and has always been super patient.

I have to say that my experience is only based on a short 2 week session but I was Very impressed!!There was no hesitation, the teacher Gulia kept the class cranking along. Even when one of the students became upset. She spent time encouraging, coaxing and bribing. Yet, not an unreasonable amount that it felt like the class was monopolized by one student.They used floating belts, flippers and candy which was different than my experience at Aqua Tots. The flippers apparently keep the little ones from dropping their legs down and bicycle kicking. My kiddo loved the staff and the shirt for completing her session.They aren't the cheapest but you get what you pay for here.

WONDERFUL swim school! I am so happy we chose to sign up here. We absolutely love our instructor Miss Molly and hope to get in her class next semester as well. We are in the water babies class (my son is 10 months and started at 8.5mo) and I really feel like he has learned a lot in the short time he has been there. Would recommend to anyone.

My son recently had his 9th birthday party at this facility. He and his friends had a blast and I was pleasantly surprised. The young lady in front was especially helpful the whole while, getting things out of the vehicle, setting up, blowing up balls and swords, you name its she was so attentive. The whole staff were friendly and courteous. The only con is the 15 min. we had to set everything up, wish it were 20 or 30 would be even better. I would Highly recommend Emler Swim School in Sachse, and much thanks to the wonderful staff for helping us host " The Best Birthday Ever", according to my son.

Good morning I am the grandparent of Mi'Kayila Rodgers this will be our last session in the bath time Bathtime Babies class . We are sad ; but also happy knowing although Mi'KayIla will be advancing to the 6 months class Lauren will still be her instructor same time and same day !!

I am so impressed with Emler of Firewheel. I have been taking my youngest here for awhile but decided to bring my 6 year old in to start since he is out of school for the summer. Well he had so much anxiety and fear about starting but Jaime assured me we could get him through this. Well Jaime was right! Both of my kids get so excited for swim class.

I was so nervous to try swim class with my first born. I knew it was something we needed to venture into because water safety is so important, but it just made me nervous. This school totally put me at ease. The manager and entire staff are so friendly. The water babies class was fast paced but repetitive so it kept my baby's interest while allowing us to both learn new skills. I cannot recommend Austin enough as an instructor. He is an incredibly gifted swim instructor for small children. My daughter and I both learned so much from him, and I am incredibly grateful that we crossed paths. I HIGHLY recommend the water babies class to all mamas out there.
