My favorite moment in every session! ISR's clothing lessons are essential to our checkout process. By practicing water skills in clothing, kids build confidence and prepare for potential emergencies, where every second counts.

You’ve probably been seeing more posts and Reels lately about water safety—and for good reason.

Most child drownings, both fatal and nonfatal, happen between May and September. The weather is warm, school’s out, and families are spending more time near pools, lakes, and beaches.

These posts aren’t meant to scare you. They’re shared by medical professionals, water safety experts, and parents who’ve lived through unimaginable loss—all with one goal: to help you protect your child.

Drowning is fast, silent, and doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t matter if you live near the ocean or in the middle of the country.
If your child is around water—even once a year—they’re at risk.

But the good news? Drowning is preventable.
With the right knowledge and layers of protection, you can help keep your family safe.

There was a high-profile fatal drowning in Arizona recently. The child was only 3 years old. My heart breaks for his family. If you are so moved, please consider donating to one of the following charitable organizations that offer survival swim scholarships and support for families affected by drowning.

ISR isn’t just for babies—these vital self-rescue skills evolve as your child grows! Once fully mobile, children advance to our swim-float-swim sequence, learning to swim, roll into their life-saving float to rest and breathe, then flip over to continue the secrets until reaching safety. This little champion completed our floating program last year and has returned to master the full sequence. Nothing makes me prouder than watching these swimmers develop their skills year after year! 💙

Why does ISR teach the back float? 🤔

Children’s larger heads and top-heavy bodies work against them in water. When they lift their heads to breathe while swimming, their lower bodies naturally sink, making it extremely difficult to stay horizontal.

This is why ISR techniques are designed specifically for their unique proportions. We teach skills that work with children’s bodies, not against them—creating effective survival abilities that match their actual physical capabilities. ✨

Mom’s face says it all. 🥰 Seeing your child develop new skills that could one day save their life is an experience unlike any other.

There's something we need to talk about: drowning remains the #1 cause of accidental death in children under 5. This statistic is troubling, because I know it's preventable.

I often hear "We'll start swim lessons when they're older" or "We don't have a pool, so we're not worried." But here's the reality: 69% of young children who drown were not expected to be near water at the time.

Your child's first swimming teacher should NOT be an emergency. That's why I'm passionate about teaching ISR Self-Rescue lessons - proven survival swimming skills that could save your little one's life.

In our one-on-one lessons, your child will learn:

- How to roll onto their back and float independently
- Proper breath control and underwater orientation
- How to respond if they fall into water unexpectedly
- Essential water safety skills customized to their age and ability

Spring session starts soon! I'm currently accepting new students ages 6 months to 6 years.

The magic of independence happens in the pool! 💫

As your child's ISR instructor, I witness life-changing moments every day. For many little ones, mastering water safety skills is their first taste of true independence - a huge milestone that goes far beyond swimming. This past week, I watched this brave boy's face light up with pure joy as he realized 'I did it all by myself!' 🌟

These moments go beyond water safety - they build confidence that ripples through every part of their lives. Watching him discover his own capabilities while his family beamed with pride reminded me why I love what I do. It's an honor to be trusted with these precious first steps toward independence. ❤️

2️⃣ 𝐍𝐨 𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐮𝐬𝐞 – Life jackets are 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 designed and approved for open water, not pools. They’re 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 a substitute for swim lessons or supervision.

3️⃣ 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞 – For kids, 𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘦 𝘐𝘐 and 𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘦 𝘐𝘐𝘐 are the only Coast Guard-approved life jackets available for children
𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘦 𝘐𝘐

* Ideal for infants
* Best for emergencies
𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘦 𝘐𝘐𝘐

* For calm waters with quick rescue

4️⃣ 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐩 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐣𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 – Vest-style jackets ensure proper floating postures and movement. Arm bands? Not so much, since they restrict movement.

The most precious thing in an emergency? Air. 💫

It’s a question every parent needs to consider: if your little one found themselves in water unexpectedly, could they find their way to air on their own?

At ISR, we don’t just teach swimming - we teach survival. Every gentle roll to float, every confident breath, every skill we practice has one critical purpose: empowering your child to reach air independently. Because in those crucial moments, independence can make all the difference.

NoCo parents: Give your child the gift of water safety skills that could one day save their life. Now enrolling for the Fort Collins spring session!
