Kentucky parents: before you pack for that Florida spring break trip, read this 💔

Vinny was 2.5 years old. Done swimming. In his pajamas. Adults nearby. Older kids in the pool.

He drowned in 30 SILENT seconds.

"If I had just known the pool was the biggest threat to his life..." his mom, Ashley, told me.

What you need to know:
•Drowning is SILENT (not like the movies)
• Takes 20-30 seconds
• Happens 70% of the time when NOT swimming
• Puddle jumpers ≠ safety

Ashley's mission now? Making sure Kentucky parents understand what she learned too late ⤵️

🚫 Water Wings Don’t Teach Children to Swim

Water wings, puddle jumpers, and floaties can create a false sense of security—for both children and parents.

Here’s why:
• They keep a child upright in the water, which is not a natural swimming position
• Children don’t learn how to control their breath or body
• If the floatation is removed, many children panic
• Kids may believe they’re “safe” around water when they’re not

ISR teaches children how to:
✔️ Control their body
✔️ Float independently
✔️ Breathe calmly
✔️ Self-rescue if they fall into water unexpectedly

Water safety isn’t about accessories—it’s about skills.

Our scholarship program helps make these life-saving skills accessible to families who need them most 💙
