ISR Instructor - Teaching children 6 months to 6 years old to self rescue 🌊
07/10/2026
Summer is such a great time for swimming, but did you know that confident swimmers are made in the fall, winter, and spring too?
My fall session is now open for booking and will run September 14th - October 29th on a 4 day flex schedule. 🙌🏻
If your child didn’t get into lessons this summer, it’s not too late! Reach out to learn how ISR can help your family enjoy the water with greater confidence and safety.
These little friends are wearing the perfect swimsuits for this post- covered in the American 🇺🇸.
Be safe this holiday both in and around the water!
⭐️ Always stay within arms reach of your child when in the water and always be IN the water with your child
⭐️ Assign a “Water Watcher” in 15 minute increments if you are around the water regardless if swimming time is planned- they must stay off their phone during their “shift”
⭐️ Hire a lifeguard if you plan to have a party where a pool or other water is present
⭐️ Place tables, chairs, or any other furnishings a few feet away from your pool child safety fence. Curious children can climb onto these items and find their way over the fence
⭐️ Check the integrity of pool fence latches and door locks leading to the water- especially if traveling and staying in a rental
⭐️ Remove pool floats and toys from the pool when finished swimming to not entice a little one into the water
⭐️ Dress your child in a brightly colored swimsuit if around the water
⭐️ Drink lots of water and reapply sunscreen often
⭐️ Use only US Coast Guard approved life jackets when on open water
Have a SAFE holiday!
One of the most rewarding parts of teaching is watching a child grow over the course of their lessons.
In the first clip, we’re in the early stages of building trust, learning new skills, and becoming comfortable in the water. By the second clip, you can see that hard work paying off - a confident jump in, a roll to float, and a child who knows what to do.
Every child’s journey looks a little different, but seeing their confidence develop week after week is truly amazing. These moments are why I love what I do. 🌊✨
“Where do you teach?” and “What does a lesson look like?” are two of the questions I get most often.
Here’s a quick look at both! 🤭🙌🏻
Come along for a peek at the pool and what a typical ISR lesson experience looks like for families. Every lesson is personalized, one-on-one, and designed to help children develop essential water survival skills while building confidence in and around the water.
I hope this helps answer a few of those frequently asked questions! If there’s anything else you’re curious about, feel free to send me a message - I’m always happy to chat about ISR and water safety. 💙

With summer right around the corner, many families are starting to shop for new swimsuits ☀️
Choosing a cute one is fun…
Choosing a visible one is safety.
Most parents don’t realize how quickly certain colors disappear underwater, especially in lakes or darker pools.
Swipe through to see the difference 👀
The more your little one stands out in the water, the better.
Did any of these surprise you?

“Can we all float together?” 💙
Scroll to watch these three siblings make it happen!!
Different ages. Different personalities. One life-saving skill. Each child learning to float, rest, and stay safer in the water.
And yes… managing all three at once was an adventure 😂
This crew is proof that ISR meets each child exactly where they are. Big sister, middle sis, little brother… water safety has no age limit.
They’re heading into summer with confidence, independence, and the skills to stay safer in and around the water. ☀️🌊
ISR isn’t just swimming; it’s survival, independence, and peace of mind.
Ready to get your child started? 💧
When your swim parents are awesome and send you a cute montage of their swimmer’s session like this one 💙
7 weeks. 10 minutes a day. The foundation for a lifetime of water safety. 🙌🏻
Watching this little mermaid grow in confidence and develop strong aquatic problem-solving skills over the course of her initial 7-week ISR session has been so special. Each lesson builds the foundation for strong survival skills in the water.
She worked so hard every single day and made incredible progress. So proud of her! 👏🏻
Shared with parent permission.
Consistency. Courage. Confidence.
These kids have shown up, worked hard, and it shows. 👏🏻
Nothing better than seeing happy swimmers finding their float and getting themselves to safety. 🩵

ISR isn’t just swim lessons - it’s water safety education designed to protect children beyond the pool.
Many childhood drownings happen when no one expected a child to be in the water. Often during everyday moments, not during designated swim time.
This graphic from shows why layers of protection matter:
✔️ Supervision
✔️ Barriers
✔️ Alarms
✔️ Life jackets
✔️ Swim lessons
Awareness is prevention. 💙
As we head into spring and summer, I’ll be sharing more about water safety and how families can build these layers at home. 👏🏻
