Emler Swim School will open its fifth Greater Houston area location in the fourth quarter of 2018 in Wood Ridge Plaza, located at 27842 I-45 N., Oak Ridge North. The school already has locations at Meyer Park and Clear Lake Marketplace and plans to open locations in Vintage Park and Grand Parkway Marketplace in April.

“We are extremely encouraged by the reception Emler has received in Houston,” CEO Greg Laird said in a statement. “The number of students we have in our first few months of operation and the excitement around our dynamic new facility design far exceeds our expectations. We have always said it is imperative for kids to be safe around water. We’re pleased to meet this need in Houston and look forward to bringing Emler to The Woodlands.”

Founded in 1975, the company has 15 open locations in Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and Kansas City. The school uses award-winning Swim Script curriculum, which includes 20 consecutive levels of year-round instruction for swimmers of all ages and skill levels. www.emlerswimschool.com
