We did survival swim with our 14 month old. He was floating on his own after 4 days of lessons!! So amazed at how easy and natural these life saving skills were for him to learn. After “graduating” his survival lessons we went on vacation. During vacation our then 15 month old was playing in the pool on a sun shelf, as he was moving around he walked off the step and fell head first under water. Even though we were there to save him, it was not needed, he flipped over to his float before we could grab him, so amazing to see! Highly recommend survival swim and swim lessons with Ms. Emma. Both of our boys have done survival swim and my oldest (who is 3) is already learning strokes. So thankful our family can enjoy the water and not fear it. Teaching your children the life saving skill of how to survive in the water is priceless.

  Hands down one of the best investments we’ve ever made. I brought my firstborn to Ms. Emma when he was 2 years old and I became worried that he was scarily confident around the pool. She patiently worked with him for 5 weeks and he was broken of bad habits and learned that swimming can be fun once one is taught safety. We returned to her for 3 years and then moved on to swim strokes in swim team. Our infant daughter recently nailed her float flawlessly with her Emma’s help. I tell parents that are hesitant that this is much like “sleep training” some kids cry because they have to learn a new skill. In this case it’s one that could save their life one day ?

  The best instructor in the area. I have a son, who got accepted into swim team, by the age he was 4.5, because he swam with Ms Emma.

  Ms. Emma has been a God send to us. My daughter was 9 months when we started her in the survival class. Within 2 days she had figured out at least how to get herself over and to air. We have pools at many of our family members houses and it's a breathe of fresh air to know that heaven forbid she gets away without noticing that she can save herself. We cannot say enough amazing things about our experience and will be back to learn how to swim when she is able to.

  Ms. Emma taught just about everybody in my family how to swim, including myself when I was a kid. Even as an adult, I still use the swimming techniques she taught me back in the '90s. She was a great teacher back then and still is!

  In just 6 weeks, my 2,5 year old daughter learned how to safe herself in the water. She absolutely loves Ms Emma. And so do I. I highly recommend her to anyone with children!

  Absolutely one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. There are people who are good at what they do, and then here are the people who are downright incredible- and Ms. Emma is one of those people. My son was terrified of putting his face in the water and tried to swim with a bizarre kicking motion that actually pulled him under water. On the first day he was putting his face in the water- now he swims, floats, and enjoys himself. Don’t think twice, just sign your kids up- it’s more than worth it! We will absolutely be coming back next year with both kids!!

  When I brought my four-year-old to Miss Emma she would not even go in the water. After just a couple weeks she was diving in the water, swimming, and playing with her friends. I would recommend Miss Emma to absolutely anybody!!

  Not only can my daughter float on her back, but she can swim to safety, all in six week! Taking her to Ms Emma was the best decision. She went from crying going into the water to being excited to go in the water, all in a matter of days. We had many recommendations and I can see why, she is the best! So grateful to her helping keep my daughter stay safe in the water. We will continue to go back every year. I would recommend Ms Emma to all parents that want their kids to learn real survival skills.

  My kiddos went from not being able to swim to swimming with confidence in a short amount of time. She is wonderful.

  I cannot say enough amazing things about Ms. Emma!!! My son started with her last summer. He was 2.5 years old. He learned so much from her, I was so amazed. It is amazing and impressive that it only takes ten minutes, four times a week and they can learn so much. He just did his refresher class about a month ago. We have been to the pool a few times since then and I no longer worry about him falling in and him not knowing how to swim and float. Pool time is so much more fun now. I cannot recommend Ms. Emma enough. She is amazing and my son loves her!

  Ms. Emma was absolutely amazing with our son! Before beginning classes with her he was afraid of the water and wouldn’t even allow us to carry him around the pool. He really felt comfortable with her from the start and made incredible changes over the weeks we saw her. I can’t wait to take him back to learn strokes. Worth the investment!!

  We are so ecstatic about our choice of going with Ms. Emma! She is so wonderful to work with and very accommodating with our schedule. Additionally, she is SO communicative about cancelled/postponed lessons which is huge when it comes to the unreliable Florida weather. Our 3-year-old talks about swim and Ms. Emma for days after each lesson, and we are so glad we didn't go anywhere else. I'm going to be sad when they're done for the season lol Perfect choice; highly recommended!

  We started with Ms Emma last year when my son was 1.5YO after getting nowhere with another swim program. Despite having some sensory issues, she was able to work with him successfully due to her patience and experience. We came back for refreshers this year and every day my son wakes up asking to see Ms Emma. We are so excited for him continue to grow with her and eventually do stroke lessons. Thank you Ms Emma for treating all your swim students like your own children.

  Ms Emma is simply amazing! She has only been working with my 2 1/2 year old grandson for 2 weeks and he has progressed far more than we expected in such a short amount of time. Her passion for what she does is undeniable. She is extremely patient and caring.

  5 weeks in and my 2 year old can completely swim and float on her own - it’s amazing. Ms Emma is wonderful and very patient yet direct with all the kiddos who fight it and whine (my own included ?)

  After years of unsuccessful swim lessons, I signed up with Ms. Emma & my children are FINALLY learning how to swim! They have picked it up so quickly with her & even have a LOVE for swimming now! I’m so grateful we found Ms. Emma & I highly recommend giving her a try! 🙂

  I cannot say enough about how important Ms. Emma’s swim lessons have been for both of my boys. It’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made! Having a 3.5 year old (been through 3 seasons) and a 2 year old (2 seasons) who both adore her, are comfortable in the water and can master their skills has been amazing. My older son is now using “big arms” in the pool and learning to breathe on his side. My younger son was a floater last year and now can’t get enough of swim-float-swim! Her natural, encouraging attitude is a testament to her knowledge in working with little ones. She is patient and consistent. We went from crying in the water to smiling and happy because she gave them confidence! I am proud as a parent to know that they are safe poolside.

  So thankful for Ms. Emma's swim instruction. Thanks to her my almost 3yr old daughter had a wonderful, safe and fun summer in the water. She has always been confident in the water, but now she also has the skills to match her confidence. She absolutely loves swimming and showing off her new found floating and swimming skills. Thank you Emma!!

  Ms. Emma's teaching is caring and straight to the point. My daughter learnt how to survive in the water, then how to swim, in no time. I feel that Ms. Emma has her students' best interest at heart.

  I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ms. Emma and her program. After six weeks our daughter can swim float swim and is growing more confident each day in the water. Her approach is awe inspiring and I can’t recommend what she does enough! This vital skill is so important and I’m glad we found her. I’m already looking forward to my daughter’s lessons next summer. Thank you Ms. Emma!!

  Miss Emma is someone we will remember forever. I thought our 3.5 year old who hated getting her face wet would be a challenge. Our daughter was swimming on day 1 and "graduated" in 4 weeks. There were tears along the way (which is normal) but Miss Emma's calm and direct style eased the nerves. Now our daughter loves the water and I feel better knowing she has the skills necessary to float and swim if she were to ever fall into a pool/lake.

  Ms. Emma is just amazing! We took our 18 month old to her last year and Ms. Emma could tell she wasn't going to do well with swimming, so she taught her how to float for survival. Two weeks before we were due to resume lessons, eight months since she had been or practiced, we were in a pool and my daughter slipped off a step. I was right next to her and watched her flip onto her back and come to the surface. Now she is almost 2.5 years old and is swimming thanks to Ms. Emma! She notices every change and will tailor the lesson to your child, I couldn't recommend her enough!

  We have been more than happy with the results. She was very honest in regards how much time Our baby needed in order to successfully complete the course. We noticed advancement even in the first week. Mrs. Emma has a gift for this. She really does

  We have been going to Ms Emma for almost 10 years! I take all my 6 kids, starting from when they can crawl to learn swim and survival from Ms Emma! They continue to go every summer for a refresher class and help with strokes. I feel very comfortable taking all my kids alone to any pool as I am confident that they have the skills to swim and survive since they have been taught by Ms Emma! She is a very patient, persistent and qualified teacher who knows how to teach even the most stubborn child and they all end up loving Ms Emma and swimming!! Thank you Ms Emma!!

  You are just such an amazing swimming instructor. Thanks for everything you are teaching our little girl. Such amazing results in few weeks. Thank you for teaching safety first and always Xoxoxoxoxoxo

  We are SO thankful that several of our friends recommended Ms. Emma for survival swim lessons! We have 2 graduates. 3 year old girl and 11 month old boy. Both experiences were wonderful. Ms. Emma is a natural at creating a bond with the kids (and parents!) and she is incredibly skilled in teaching the survival swim techniques. In addition, Ms. Emma does a fantastic job communicating schedules and accommodating changes wherever possible.

  Juliana Roundtree June 18th, 2019. Ms. Emma’s worked with both of my girls, starting at the age of 9 months and 18 months! She was so patient, and every lesson they improved noticeably! You can tell she genuinely cares for your kids! We get to spend our summers at the pool with complete peace of mind that our girl’s know what to do Incase of an emergency! God forbid anything happen, I believe Emma has taught them and me everything we need to know about water safety! We look forward to seeing Emma every year. She’s AMAZING!!

  We have had an amazing experience with Miss Emma! We were at another swim school for 14 months with no improvement! My son could not swim or float at all after all that money spent! Within 4 weeks with Miss Emma he can swim-float-swim and save his own life! I am so grateful to have found her for my son’s safety!

  Ms. Emma has been instrumental in teaching both of our boys how to swim. Her consistent instruction is very effective, and she is also able to creatively respond if the kids lose focus. We are confident in their ability to swim now because of Ms. Emma’s approach to safety and the swimming techniques she taught to them.
