Omaha Safe Swim

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
215 S 181st St
Elkhorn, NE 68022

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:

✨ More pool deck space for comfortable transitions and waiting
✨ 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!!

Surprise! The newest member of the Omaha Safe Swim team arrived late Friday night. He was so excited to get to the pool, baby boy arrived six weeks early.

Miss Emily and baby Hunter are doing great. Little man will spend some time in the NICU growing stronger before he’s ready to master his float.

With baby’s early arrival and a maternity leave timeline change, Miss Emily is tentatively planning to return to the pool mid to late July for a July ISR session. This session will have very limited spots, as Miss Emily will only be back in the pool a few hours a day. For more information on July and future sessions, please join our waitlist and watch your email for updates. Waitlist families will be notified first via email.

Miss Emily is still available via email and messenger, but your patience with a longer response time is appreciated.

Morning Maintenance Lessons now available over the next 3 weeks at Miss Emily’s outdoor pool. We will swim rain or shine, and the pool is toasty warm!

Sign up in your Scheduler portal or send us a message! Keep your ISR skills sharp for summer!

Our May session kiddos are rocking week 2🤩
And Miss Emily’s bump is rocking that wetsuit 😂

Here’s the real question: Do you think the wetsuit will stretch another 5 weeks with Miss Emily’s baby bump??

“ISR gives your child a chance to live”

That sounds dramatic, but drowning prevention really is that serious. Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children 4 and under, and is preventable.
