Omaha Safe Swim

Better Together!! 💙💦

Miss Emily may be out of session this week, but it gave me a rare opportunity to collaborate and learn alongside Miss Liz!

As ISR instructors, we never stop facing new challenges in the pool, and we never stop learning. Today was such a great opportunity to share ideas, learn new tips and tricks, and support one another in our shared mission: “Not One More Child Drowns.”

There’s always something new to learn, and we’re better when we learn from each other. 💙

Thank you for opening up your pool and sharing your expertise, Miss Liz!

🚨 SUMMER IS ENDING. WATER SAFETY ISN’T. 🚨

The big kids are back in school, which means it’s time to think about the littles! And if you’ve been waiting to start or refresh ISR, there are only TWO more opportunities to swim with Miss Emily before peak season returns next spring.

💦 SEPTEMBER 28 — ALMOST FULL!
Our NEW indoor pool at Aloft Marriott West Omaha (just west of Village Pointe)

💦 JANUARY 12 — ENROLLMENT OPEN
Indoor lessons continue all winter long!

Both new student lessons + 3 week refresher sessions for returning students available.

And don’t forget about the next few weeks! ☀️
I have LIMITED maintenance + stroke lesson spots available at my outdoor pool in September. Let’s take advantage of this September heat wave while we can!

Drowning doesn’t have a season, and neither does our commitment to water safety and drowning prevention.

💙 Ready to get on the schedule? Send me a message or head to the link in our bio to enroll!

💦 September is 2/3 full + January enrollment is OPEN!

Thinking about waiting until spring or summer? You don’t have to choose between starting now and being ready for summer.

ISR research shows that 94% of children retain their skills one year after completing their initial training. And with maintenance lessons throughout the year, we can keep those skills fresh and practiced leading into summer.

✨ Learn the skills in January
✨ Maintain them throughout the year
✨ Head into summer already confident and prepared

Why wait until the busiest time of year to start? Get those foundational skills established now, then use maintenance to keep them fresh for summer. 💦

September 28 — 2/3 full
January 11 — NOW OPEN

Honored to attend an event this weekend celebrating Kingston’s legacy. 🤍

Through the Honoring Kingston Fundraiser, his mom Tasha is turning unimaginable loss into a mission to help protect other children by providing ISR scholarships to families in our community.

What a beautiful way to honor Kingston — by helping give other children the gift of lifesaving skills and giving families greater peace around the water🩵

1️⃣ Refresher student three week slot available at 10:30am beginning August 3rd

This is a great opportunity for a previously skilled ISR student to tune up their skills, or a kiddo from our May session that was cut short (baby Hunter says sorry about that 😅)

Maintenance time slots are also available daily beginning August 3rd

📍Miss Emily’s outdoor pool 168th and Pacific

Lets get back in the pool to refresh those skills and confidence!

There are so many new faces here, so I thought it was time to reintroduce myself!

Hi! I’m Miss Emily, the face behind Omaha Safe Swim. 👋

I’m a Nebraska girl, originally from Lincoln, and I’ve basically grown up in and around the water. I was a competitive swimmer, and I’ve been teaching swim lessons in some form since I was 13 years old.

Last June, I spent six weeks in Fort Collins, CO, becoming an ISR instructor. My biggest inspiration for pursuing ISR was my three year old son, Harrison. Before getting certified, I used to have nightmares about him drowning in our backyard pool. As I started looking into survival swim lessons, I realized how limited the ISR options were here in Omaha (huge shoutout to Liz for serving so many families with an always full schedule!). I knew our community needed more access to these life saving skills, and I wanted to be part of that mission.

Before starting Omaha Safe Swim full time, I spent nearly 10 years working in college recruiting. Making the leap to run this business has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Our family recently welcomed our second little boy, Hunter. He’s now 5 weeks old after making quite the dramatic entrance six weeks early! While his early arrival definitely threw a wrench into my summer plans, he’s doing great, and we’re soaking up this sweet (and very busy!) season as a family.

Thank you to every family who has trusted me with your child. It is truly an honor to be part of your journey. I don’t take that responsibility lightly, and I’m so grateful for this incredible Omaha community.

I’m excited for everything ahead and can’t wait to meet even more of you this fall! 💙

🎉 BIG NEWS FOR OMAHA SAFE SWIM FAMILIES! 🎉

We are excited to announce our new indoor pool partnership with Aloft Omaha West for our upcoming fall session! 💙

As Omaha Safe Swim continues to grow, I am thrilled to have a long term indoor home that allows us to provide an even better experience for our swimmers and families.

Our new location:
📍 Aloft by Marriott Omaha West

Located just 2.5 miles north of our previous pool location, this move keeps us conveniently located in West Omaha while giving our families some exciting upgrades:

✨ On-site restrooms for added convenience
✨ Easier parking with a dedicated parking lot and simple facility access
✨ Protection from Nebraska weather during fall and winter lessons
✨ A professional, long term facility where Omaha Safe Swim can continue to grow

I am so grateful for every family who has supported Omaha Safe Swim and helped us reach this next chapter. I cannot wait to welcome our swimmers into our new indoor home this fall!

Thank you, Aloft Omaha West, for partnering with us to bring more water safety education to the Omaha community!!
