We love Ms. Meagan!!!! She is great with my daughter and I feel very comfortable with them in the pool. Meagan has great energy and keeps the kids (age 2) engaged the entire time.

We love Emler and we especially love Ms. Megan!! Megan has been our teacher for almost 2 years now and she is truly the best. She treats my child like she is her own and my daughter is a much better swimmer because of her patience and hardwork!

My daughter LOVES Ms. Megan. After every class, she wants to give Megan a hug and tells her that she’s going to miss her. It’s amazing how big of an impact she has made on my daughter with her classes only being 30 mins.

We highly recommend Emler Swim School - the curriculum is excellent in preparing kids for this life skill and the staff is wonderful. Melissa, the director, is very engaging and encouraging to all the students. She understands children well and the potential fears of swimming. Mr. Isaac is an awesome teacher and made our girls feel so comfortable immediately. He makes it fun and utilizes positive reinforcement throughout the class!

My 3 and 4yo love this school! Ms. Kayla has done a great job with my son, who was initially apprehensive any time he was in a pool. Now, he imitates swimming anytime he is in the bathtub. Thank you, Ms. Kayla!

We have loved Emler since my son started swimming lessons when he was 3 years old. Hes now 5.5 and still loving it just as much! We had Ms. Bierra for this summer session, which was the first time wed been back since early 2020 and my son adored her! She has such a peaceful demeanor and is so patient, kind, and encouraging to the kids. My son talks about her all the time and Im so grateful we got to have her as a teacher this summer.

Our son has been swimming with Mr. Josh for several class seasons now. He was nervous to begin with, also very young. But Mr. Josh was patient and knowledgeable in acclimating him to the water while also pushing him to learn. Now our son looks forward to each class, and were glad hes learning survival skills but also having fun. Anytime swimming is mentioned, hes quick to ask about his teacher Mr. Josh!

Man there is a lot I can say about Mr. Josh In the short months my sons have been attending Elmer Swim School. But the moment that he touched my heart is when he took on the responsibility of teaching my son when he had miss his time with his class and since he only had one student his class (which was my eldest son) he taught them both! So I do appreciate you a lot Mr. Josh keep up the great work! My children love you!

WOWZER! I cant say enough to do justice to the amazing things this team can do here. My daughter came to Emler with little to no real experience swimming - we had fun in the pool :-) and I really wanted her to have the knowledge and know how to both be safe, save herself if needed and expand her endurance skills.About 10 weeks in - it all clicked for her - Ms Katie & Ms Melissa were her teachers and both were super patient and really worked with her to be comfortable with going under water, breath control, various swimming modes, floating etc.It has now been about 9 months from when we started and I have a 3 year old with better breath control than me, that knows how to safe herself, float and also challenges herself each week. Its always so much fun to see your kiddo build a skill and have confidence in it. She loves swimming now and I love knowing she is able to swim safely all while having fun. What more can you ask for. LOVE Emler at Walnut Hill!!!!

Ms.Kyra made our daughter feel at home at swim class. She’s super knowledge and has great tips for overall safety in the water with young kiddos. She’s always smiling and happy to see us each week. We loved having her as our swim class teacher for water babies!!

We really enjoy Emler swim school. The staff, facilities, and programs are exceptional! Our daughters teacher is Mr. Isaac and he has been amazing. He is very patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommended this school for sure!

Ms. Megan is the best swim teacher. She instilled confidence in the pool for my 3 year old while making it so fun for her. We hope to have her again next summer!

Me and my 1 year old enjoy classes so much! Especially with Ms.Megan! Shes so sweet, patient, and cheerful! My baby warmed up to her and Im thankful that hes learning from her. Cant wait to sign up for the next semester.

They are AWESOME!!1 My kids love this place, they are learning and always looking forward to get into the pool!!!

Mr. Josh is the best! Weve been taking our son to Elmer Swim School (with Josh as our instructor) since our baby was 10 weeks old and, to brag just a bit, Ive never seen a child so comfortable in the water at such a young age. He is only 7 months and already holds his breath under water for 5 seconds. Its amazing. We plan to be customers for years to come!

We love swim class! My baby has really developed his motor skills and turned into a fish. Mr. Josh always brings great energy to class and creates a fun environment for the babies.

We take our child to the AquaTots class with Ms. Isabella and they love it! She teaches with creativity and compassion and it’s been a great experience for our family. Definitely signing up for another session.

Emler Walnut Hill is truly the best. Everyone is so kind and helpful. I feel so safe knowing that my child is being cared for and watched at all times. The staff is absolutely amazing. I LOVE that we chose Emler Walnut Hill for swim lessons. It’s worth every single penny and I wouldn’t change a thing! Kyra is absolutely the best!

We love Emler Swim School! Specially Ms. Isabella. She is my 3 yo teacher and she is always so kind, so patient and always happy. I hope we get to have her again as his teacher next semester! Thank you Ms. Isabella!

Thank you, Mr. Allan, for always being so wonderful with Hunter and making his lessons so much fun! We have seen him grow a lot in your class and it has been amazing to watch him swim like a “big kid” this summer!

My son has been a swimmer at Emler since he was just over a year old. He is now three and a half, and just finished a wonderful summer session with Ms. Bierra. While typically resistant with new people, my son quickly warmed to Ms. Bierra due to her patient manner, and kind spirit. He loves swimming at Emler. Its always been a highlight of our week!

They do a great job safetly pushing child and parent beyond comfort zone in water. They opperate with integrity, profesaionalism, and fun.They do a great job meeting the child and parent where they are at and know when to push and when to back off. I would highly recommend.

We love Mr. Josh! He has done such a great job with our son this summer. He is swimming and listening. He has made swimming fun and safe for our 2.5 year old. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great staff and location! So glad we found Emler Swim School. Always a great time when we attend Saturday waterbabies class w/ Mr. Josh, he brings such a positive and energetic vibe my son Preston enjoys the class so much!

I really love the way Ms. Megan treated my daughter. She is the best teacher, & Ms. Megan shows my daughter a lot of ways to swim. I am so thankful. I love all the team.

We love Mr. Allen. He is so kind, calm and patient. My daughter has learned so much, but has also grown in confidence.

Our near-3 year old has really learned a lot and become much more comfortable in the water in just a short time. A huge thank you to Ms. Kyra who is so good with the kids and communicates really well with the parents. She really has a passion for teaching kids to swim and it shows. Thank you, Kyra and Emler!

Mr. Allan is a great instructor! He is extremely patient and knowledgeable. It’s always a great experience when working with Mr. Allan.

My kids have been attending Emler at Walnut Hill for over a year and we love it!Ms. Melissa (manager) is the best, SO friendly, and always has or finds the answer to any question. Mr. Josh is our favorite swim teacher, my boys adore him. That being said, weve always had positive experiences with all the teachers!Ive been very pleased with their handling of business with COVID. Masks are mandatory for those not in the pool, teachers wear shields, and staff is always cleaning/ disinfecting. I was VERY relieved that theyll be continuing with masks and distancing despite the mandatory order being lifted. The right decision to keep everyone healthy and safe!

My daughter started at Emler swim school with Ms. Kyra as her teacher and now swimming is her favorite activity! She talks about Ms. Kyra all the time, sings the swim songs at home, and begs to swim every day. We are thrilled with how much shes grown in the past 6 months. THANK YOU Ms. Kyra and Emler!

My Son love to go to swimming class with Mr.Allan, he is a sweet and nice teacher! Thank Emler to send a great teacher for my little boy.

Awesome staff!!!! My daughter enjoys being in the water & all the teachers have had the patience to teach her.

We love Mrs Kyra and EmlerMy son is a safe and capable swimmer now after just 3 months of aquatots!

Mr. Isaac is such an incredible teacher— enthusiast, fun, and encouraging. We’re grateful to him for making swim fun for our daughter.

We love Ms. Megan with all of our heart! She has been the perfect combo of gentle but pushes the kids to be their best!

Mr. Allan at Emler is SO GOOD with the younger kids. He is patient, kind and we really appreciate the pace at which he teaches our kids to swim.

We love Emler! Our son has been swimming for almost 4 years and our daughter just started this year. We love all the amazing high fives from Mr Josh, all the silly fun with Miss Jennifer and Miss Bierra and we can’t forget Miss Melissa who always makes sure we’re in the right class and improving our skills. Thank you Emler Walnut Hill! We appreciate you so much. You’ve kept a little bit of normalcy for our littles during Covid.

Mr. Josh is great with my son! We take his water babies class on Wednesday and he has helped my son make so much progress.

We LOVE Emler Walnut Hill! Mr. Allan is always so kind and patient with my 3 year old who is afraid of the water.

Mr. Allen is so kind and patient with my little boy. Whether my son is splashing or crying, Mr. Allan is calm and helpful to get him back on learning.

Mr. Allen is very patient with the kids. My child enjoys his class and she has learned how to swim.

We have been with Emler since my son was 8 weeks old (minimum age for bath time babies). Thanks to Emler Swim we moved out of the baby bath tub sooner, into the tub, and we were comfortable doing so.Unfortunately, we took a break for a year due to the pandemic, we are back now, and feel very safe and comfortable. Our son missed his classes and is so happy in the water. Melissa the site director recognized us when we returned. Our swim instructor, Josh is great!

We have been super happy with the friendly, inviting and professional atmosphere at Elmer, particularly with our instructor Ms. Megan!

Nothing but great things to say about Emler Walnut Hill! Melissa & Korey are great to work with. Megan is our swim teacher and she is amazing. She has a great positive attitude, is always happy and upbeat and makes it fun for the kids. We’ve been going to Emler for over 3 years now.

Weve been going to Walnut Hill for about 2 years and now both of my sons are enrolled there. Its a very inviting atmosphere in and out of the water. Babies have days when theyre just not feeling like being in the water and the Emler staff is so patient, the class stays fun for everyone. The staff has been the same for the two years weve been there, they know my whole family by name and they are ALWAYS (seriously, always) smiling and helpful. Ive even found some mom friends to hang with outside of pool hours. Also a bonus - Classes for babies under 6 months I think are free. I didnt know that or take advantage of it - so definitely ask about that benefit!

My daughter signed up right before COVID hit. She had about 2 classes before we stopped attending due to COVID. Ive been calling for over 2 weeks to see about getting her back in the classes or see about getting a refund on the classes she never had a chance to take. Their phone always says, due to high call volume, even when I call right at the time they open. Ive left VMs and still no response.

EMLERS ON WALNUT HILL HAS BEEN THE BEST PLACE FOR MY CHILD TO LEARN TO SWIM! THE STAFF IS ALWAYS FRIENDLY AND WONDERFUL. MY CHILD LOOKS FORWARD TO SWIM LESSONS EVERY SINGLE WEEK. MR. JOSH HAS BEEN THE BEST TEACHER! CANT SAY ENOUGH WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT THIS LOCATION!!!!

Want your child to be an environment where their individual swim needs are met? Where the teachers are as thoughtful and kind as they are are knowledgeable? Where the hours are feasible for working parents? Then look no further. Needless to say I love Emler swim school

Well I must say all the staff there is pretty amazing!......But I definitely want to give JOSH his flowers TODAY!.....you have been an absolute charm to my little swimmer since we started lessons with you!....You are AMAZING and my little one thinks so too!.....When we are in the company of family or friends she randomly tells them I want see Josh.......lol.....and everyone just literally stops to look at me like, Who is JOSH??....lol....and I must admit its pretty adorable and cute and hilarious!!....I tell them no worries guys its just her AMAZING swim teacher!....so thank you Josh for ALL that you do, your extreme patience, and singing her random Jesus songs that she wants you to sing during class!....its soooo appreciated and does not go unnoticed!.....You are definitely one of a kind!....Your Little Swimmer,Stormy

Very friendly staff! My daughter has been swimming here since she was 6 months old and loves it. They have taught her technique, safety, and a lot of fun!

We love Emler at Walnut Hill! I have two kids under 6, and we have been coming here since they were babies. The staff is so friendly, and the environment is spacious and clean.

These guys are scam artists. Classes give very little instruction and children do not learn in them. They make you prepay for a semester, and if you find the classes are not effective they will not give you a refund. I do not recommend lessons here. We noticed how little instruction our children were receiving and timed it. Out of a 30 minute class they received less than 4 minutes of instruction. The rest of the time was sitting on a step waiting their turn. They are better ways for kids to learn to swim. They give customers incentives to leave positive google reviews. Do not believe their reviews. They do not guarantee their classes are effective. Do not waste your money here. They are swindlers.

Very happy with how my son has been learning throughout the months. He’s been coming to Elmer since he was 2 months, he’s 1 year old now and even though he took a break due to COVID he is swimming at 10 seconds under water. It’s a joy to see him so comfortable being in the water and learning how to swim.

I’ve been taking my son here for bath time babies and water babies. All of the instructors have been wonderful and provide a positive experience for kids learning to swim.

I have been dealing with your Walnut Hill location for quite some time.they keep on give me false Timelines on when I should be receiving my refund. This is very ridiculous on how you cannot send money back . When today’s merchant services are Instantaneous with refunds. I’ve been in contact with the district manager they have told me that I would be receiving my money and seven business days on three different occasions. This is not right!!! You shouldn’t be holding peoples money in order to pay your bills because you guys can’t hold up.I need my money back.

Great staff and teachers. My kids love it!

We love Mr. Isaac!

The staff is very friendly and easy to work with. We love the swim classes

My granddaughter has been taking lessons at Elmer since she was a baby and we love it. I am relieved that if she found herself in a pool she would have the skills to safely get to the side.

Josh is an incredible instructor!

I love this swim school. I have been with Emler since my now 7 year old was 4 and have seen her progress from barely swimming to doing multiple different strokes across the pool. I have 2 other children that go there as well so I have seen them work with all the different levels of swimmers and I think they are amazing with every kid from the fussy 1 year old who is scared to get in the water all the way up to the 7 yr old who wants to be on the Olympic swim team. Pools and waiting area are kept clean and staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!

We love Emler Swim School! Corey has been amazing with our little one! The management and staff are caring and friendly. I was nervous with my daughter being in the water our first class as she was still learning head and neck control (bathtime babies), but Corey made us feel very safe. Hes very attentive to each babies level. He explains everything and also makes it fun!

We love our Emler Swim School, especially Melissa C, Linda and Corey. Very friendly atmosphere. Our little boy learned so much, we love that they have very flexible schedule many sessions offered during the week. Each teacher has different techniques for kids and so far we are very happy with all of them.

Great school. Friendly & knowledgeable swim instructors. Management is always available--at the pool, goes inside pool to help transition your little one with new teachers if needed. Very accommodating. My son has been attending since 6 months (now 2.5yrs). He has days where he doesnt want to go in the pool, but ultimately loves it once hes there (typical toddler behavior).

I moved my son from the Preston Hollow location only due to convenience once I get him from daycare. This location is smaller than the other one BUT this has allowed my son to have a class all to himself (atleast for now). So I appreciate he gets the one on one time. Everyone has been very nice and welcoming. My son gets excited every time we pass the location and he enjoys his lessons days as well.

We had so much fun at swim class! My 3 month old son loved Melissa and we learned so much and sang fun songs. I can tell this will be really beneficial for him just after one visit!

Zoe was a fantastic instructor! She was great about coming up with new ways to motivate and encourage the kids, and was always energetic and effective. My 4-year-old loved coming to her class, and made a ton of progress. We are very pleased with our experience at Emler!

Dolfin is the best swim school in Dallas! My 2 children have both been taking swim lessons at Dolfin Swim School since they were around 6 months old and I cant say enough wonderful things about this school. The instructors are patient, kind, knowledgeable, and very highly skilled and trained and the facility is pristine. My children have both progressed through various levels and have attended both weekly and summer intensive classes. The Owner (Ms. Linda) has developed a wonderful teaching method that utilizes a progression of skills to build confidence, emphasize water safety, and ultimately develop very strong swimmers. She has trained her instructors thoroughly so there has been a great deal of continuity as my children have progressed through the class levels. I dont often post endorsements but I truly feel so fortunate to have this wonderful facility available to my children. I have been 100% satisfied with the facility, their policies, the instructors and the classes and will continue sending my children to this school for years to come.

Both of my kids (8 months & just shy of 3yo) just started here recently. They do a great assessment, and then allow you to enroll in highly flexible class schedules. For example, if you travel a lot like I do & you miss a class, the make up options are fantastic. People there are very friendly, and prices are reasonable. We’re early on here, but first impressions are very favorable.

He’s very patient.

Wonderful experience! Weve been going here for 3 years. I love that they mark off specific skills on their arm band so that you know the instructors are really working on the skills they need to master. The owner even spent at least 30 minutes on the phone with me when we first started and my son had a big fear of water. 2 thumbs up!!!

Great for birthday parties. The staff was so helpful, the pool was clean and warm. I would most definitely recommend it for your next birthday party.

We love Elmer and my son is so comfortable in the water and has improved so much since we joined! Amazing coaches every time! He is a confident swimmer and I am thankful to Emler!

Emlers is amazing. From the Manager, to the staff, to the classes they offer. Aysia and Cory are the most amazing swim instructors. They really made Avery feel comfortable in the water and shes holding her breath for 8 seconds under water. They teach valuable and life saving skills that can severely reduce the risk of an infant or toddler drowning if they accidentally fall into water and are alone. I feel safe and comfortable with the swim lessons offered at Emler. They teach children so much more than just swimming.

We love Dolphin Swim school! We have been coming here for three years and both of my kids love it! It is clean, the staff is so friendly, and my boys have learned so much. We do the weekly classes all year and love the two week intensive summer lessons too - the progression during the summer intensive is huge! I also love that Dolphin teaches water safety to both students and parents! Ill send my third son here too when hes old enough!

Excellent swim school! My daughter started swim class at Dolfin when she was 2 years old. Shes now 6 1/2 and we still love Dolfin Swim School. The instructors are friendly and fun as well as knowledgeable.We have enjoyed both weekly classes and two-week intensive classes.I really appreciate how organized and focused the lessons are. Each child has a wristband with numbers representing the different skills learned at their level so that the instructor can easily keep track of each childs progress. The facility is bright, cheerful and spectacularly clean. Very highly recommend!

I had two of my grandchildren for 1 week in June. Neither could swim...play in the water but hung on for dear life if we left the “shallow” water. Our grandson is 4 and granddaughter is 7. I was able to sign them up for daily lessons. Our grandson had 6 and our granddaughter had 5. From the first lesson to the last both became SWIMMERS! I mean from not putting face in water to working on freestyle strokes and floating on backs! Jumping in and turning to swim to edge was so much fun! Both my daughter and her husband and my son and his wife could not believe their eyes with videos I sent!! I could not say enough about the professional, well trained, great positive attitude of all the staff! Their instructors were sooooo amazing! I can’t imagine the continued progress if I had them for a few more weeks! Great JOB Emler on Walnut Hill Dallas! Thanks for giving this ol Grammy/Nana a wonderful week of bragging rights! 🥰🥰👍

My son made great progress in the aqua tots class. Ms. Caitlin was so patient and built a relationship with him so he would trust her and the water. We signed up for additional classes because our experience was so positive.

Nice facility with 2 different pools. Friendly, professional staff with a strategic approach to teaching your child how to swim or at least laying the initial groundwork (babies and toddlers).

The staff is very friendly and they all seem to know what they are doing. They have a development plan for the kids and apply it with discipline.I also like the make up lessons they offer for the classes we miss. I recommend Emler Swim School of Walnut Hill without any reservations.

All three of my kiddos love the Dolfin program. I like that there are a defined set of skills that must be mastered before moving to the next Level. I know exactly what those skills are and how my kids are progressing. Also, excellent instructors who care about kids!

We love Elmer at Walnut Hill. Melissa makes us feel like family and our 3 year old son has learned so much from Ms. Linda. We look forward to our infant starting classes soon.

Hands down best teachers , Ms Brenda and Mr Oscar. My boys (4 and 6yr old) felt empower with these two teachers. I am personally grateful because they knew right away how to coach them. ( May I mention my eldest son is in the Autism Spectrum.) my boys love their teachers , my little one keep repeating their names at gym pool or public pool. He keep showing me how his teachers instructed him to swim. The attention given one on one is fenomenal! Thank you for all you do and the rest of the staff always so bubbly.🤗 This mommy loves EMLER’s !

Amazing /Loving staff, Friendly environment, Thanks Melissa, Jacob, Julie for being the BEST!!! See u again this SUMMER.Great Swimming school.LOVE The Shoulders-Oden Family..

Both of my boys learned to swim at the swim school. They are simply fantastic. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

My 4 year old daughters teacher, Destiny is awesome and my daughter is getting more and more comfortable in the water. Everyone at Emler is professional and courteous.

We have had a GREAT experience at Dolfin. The staff is wonderful and the lessons are very personable and catered to the level of the kids. I cant recommend Dolfin enough!

I was so impressed with Emler! Took my daughter to the Bathtime Babies class. Korey is so great with the kids.

They worked with me on classes. Getting my two girls in at the same time. I got lucky the girls were close enough on skills. My 4 and 5 year old love working with Ericka and Christian during class time.

This place is some sort of a scheme. I wanted to bring my child to try it out before we enroll. I was fine paying for this one lesson althou most gyms give u at least one lesson free or a week free. But whatever. When I gave them my credit card number I found the charge of over 100$. They charged me for a yearly enrollment fee before we even tried it and decided if we joining or not. After all, our schedule did not allow us to come to this lesson and it was the end of the month, so I told them we will not be going at all. Regardless, they charged my credit card for another month as they needed 30 day cancellation notice. So they got a yearly fee and 2 months membership fee from us when we never came there 1 single time. Robbers!

Great swim school. The teachers have a structured class that they all follow. The school director really cares about all the kids.

Amazing classes. They really take their time to teach you and make you feel safe!

Been with Emler since my daughter was a water baby. Couldn’t have found a better place!

Very well run swim school. Instructors vary of course but the vast majority are great.

Great place for kids to learn my daughter loves it, the staff are so nice

Our daughter loves her swim class and everyone at Emler is fantastic!

My kids love the instructors at Dolfin. Super fun environment and they are learning to be super safe swimmers.

We love this place. Miss. Linda is extremely knowledgable and cares for students.

We love Dolfin Swim School. Our boys have become safe confident swimmers coming here.

My son loves his swim classes and his instructors. He has learned so much!
