Testimonials
“My daughter was so afraid of the water, we would have to go in with her and she wouldn’t even put her face under. EmBe’s swimming lessons gave her the confidence to being comfortable in the water by herself and to eventually dunk her face under!”
– EmBe Aquatics Parent
“My son is in preschool lessons on Saturday’s and he loves it! He can’t wait to get up and go each week, his instructors are amazing!”
-EmBe Aquatics Parent
“My son used to be terrified of pools and swimming. I enrolled him in swim lessons to get him used to the water so he could enjoy swimming. The parent and child class helped us learn the basics and boosted his confidence with swimming. The first class was hard; he didn’t want to get in the water. In the last class, he didn’t want my help at all and was even going underwater! He also started swim lessons during the day through EmBe Education’s Preschool program. This is an amazing benefit because sometimes it is hard to do lessons in the evening. I love knowing that my son is learning a life-saving skill while I am at work. This skill carries on through to adulthood and can save yourself and others. I highly recommend the swim lessons offered through EmBe! – EmBe Aquatics Parent
