Emler Swim School of Kansas City-Leawood

This swim school is the best! They are friendly, flexible, and teach valuable lessons in a fun way. They teach all of the basics of water safety that you could want. They teach all ages, BUT they're the best for 5 and under that I've seen. They instill safety into the students that becomes second nature for them. I have had 4 go through the program. When we have pool time in the summer, everyone is always impressed with how well they can swim at such an early age. All credit to Emler.

Incredible teachers, clean facility, and my child truly learned swim safety. Highly recommend Emler Swim School!

Amazing teachers! The teachers are great, my child loves his! Also, the staff is always willing to answer any and all of my questions. The staff has also gone above and beyond to help me with times that work around our families crazy schedule. I will admit, I've seen some upset parents at times who have been more than disrespectful to staff and they have always remained professional and courteous. That says a lot about a company to me. I always recommend Emler whenever the chance arises.

We have been with Emler for a few years and overall we're happy with their classes/structure. Of course it all depends on the child's skills as well. But after two years we do see improvements on swimming skills with our son. He can now do backstroke and so much more comfortable in the water. All of their teachers and admin staff are nice and easy to work with. The classes do get fill out super fast so that really shows how popular this place is with parents.

Can't say enough good things about Emler. In only three individual lessons, our three year old has already done more in 75 minutes than in all combined pool efforts before. A confident paddler with a floatie on, he is not as sure of himself without the training wheels. Staff members at Emler are flexible, nurturing, and understanding about comfort levels and have put him at ease in the water. Our main reason for signing him up for lessons was for pool safety and individual confidence, not necessarily strokes or technique at this point. Our coach has already instilled a strong sense of safety and provides skills for him to swim back to the wall and pull himself up in case of a fall in emergency. They offer both individual and group sessions ranging in prices and value. As our little one grows, we'll look to the group instruction as an option.We're headed on vacation this summer and I have no doubt our child's swim skills will be top-notch after his time at Emler. Thankful for everything they do and provide for everyone's precious cargo.

Fantastic in every way! We have had classes with many instructors and they always take great care with our boys. The lessons are broken Down so the students can really learn important skills. I have noticed that compared to other swim lessons, my boys do better at Emler and with their structure they provide. The environment is friendly and clean. Lots of changing stalls and bathrooms for everyone. Plenty of changing areas for diapers and putting babies into swim suits. The customer service is incredible, they always do such a wonderful job of welcoming everyone and helping new families out. I highly recommend emler to everyone!

Five stars for the bath time babies class! Our instructor, Sam was so fun and gentle. She helped ease my anxiety about having my little baby in the pool. It was so much fun and we can't wait to go again. And a huge shout out because the class is FREE!

Our experience was great. Our teacher was very focused and great with all the kiddos. Would 100% recommend them to anyone like ok'ing to get little ones swimming.

My girls love coming here! The pool is always heated for little kids and the staff is always friendly which makes it worth driving a little further!

Emler is exceptional We live in Colorado and my young son has been in 2 Rec Center programs and 3 swim school programs, and Emler is by far the best. When we visit KC, I try to get him in as many Emler classes as I can because it really builds his confidence. Mr. Nathan, Maleah, Leah, and Zach are amazing. Mr. Nathan, Zach and Maleah do a great job of teaching him skills to build upon and give him security and encouragement to feel confident around water. Leah tries and succeeds in getting Jack scheduled in classes and private lessons.Emler's is the best!
