Certified Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) Lessons provided by Joanna in Bluffton, SC Meet the Instructor
Hi! I look forward to teaching your child!
I’m Joanna and being from South Florida, I have always loved the water. I grew up in a family of avid boaters, with a pool in our backyard, and the beach only a short drive away. It’s no wonder that my first job was as a lifeguard at our local waterpark. Within a few years, I became certified as a Water Safety Instructor and taught traditional style swimming lessons throughout college. After gradu
ating with a Bachelors degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion, I became certified to teach Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED/First Aid & Babysitter Training. I taught these skills to childcare providers and young teens aboard a Marine Corps military base. Over the past 10+ years, I have learned and taught so many about the importance of water safety, and it is something I am extremely passionate about. But it was really once I became a mom that fear of the water struck me. I knew the potential dangers, and I would hear about the accidents all the time. I had this pit in my stomach knowing that I needed to get my baby safe as soon as she was crawling around. Infant Swimming Resource was introduced to me in 2019. After some research and watching some videos, I signed my baby up to complete the ISR program. I was AMAZED at the results and so impressed with the Instructors, the technique and the philosophy. At just 1 year old my daughter could swim, float, and swim her way to safety. My mom heart knew I made the right choice in signing her up for ISR lessons. In 2020 I had my second baby and being a military family, it was coming time for us to move again. I knew I wanted to sign my son up for ISR lessons as soon as he was 6 months old, which was right around the time we would be moving. I looked for an ISR instructor in our new location, but to my dismay, I couldn’t find one. During one of my daughter’s maintenance lessons I mentioned this to her instructor and inquired about the process of becoming an ISR instructor. Flash forward 3 months and I found myself starting my ISR Instructor Training at the same time that my son was starting his lessons. I am so excited to have the opportunity and privilege to provide the Infant Swimming Resource Self-Rescue™ Technique to the families of Beaufort & Jasper County!
