My son completed 8 weeks of ISR training during the summer of 2010. He was just 1 year old. We went on a family vacation. One afternoon I took him to the pool at our hotel. He had a great time in the water, but then he wanted to explore the pool deck. He was just getting good at walking. He was walking next the pool, with me right behind him. He took one wrong step and fell right into the pool. I jumped in after him and just as he rolled onto his back I grabbed him. It wasn't until later that I realized he had rolled all on his own. This was just a false step, but I got to see that he really did know what to do if he fell in water. Show Less »

Our daughter, Samantha had the most incredible experience learning water safety and ISR floating when she was only a one-year-old. She rarely cried and was trusting of our swim teacher, Fernanda, from the first day. We couldn't believe our eyes and were amazed with what our baby could do in the pool. We felt so safe during our lessons. We have brought our daughter back two summers in a row for refresher lessons and she can now swim-float-swim across the pool safely and confidently. We are forever thankful for the patience and love and knowledge of our ISR teacher, Fernanda Whitney. We recommend ISR to everyone. Show Less »

I was hesitant, and even embarrassed to write this note, but I thought about it and decided that I would be a fool if I didn't.... Basically, the worst thing happened on Thanksgiving day. Something I thought would "never" happen to me (us) because I am one of "those" moms. The Kind of Mom who tries to think of every situation that can cause harm to My son and I do my best to prevent it. Well, it happened.... my 2 1/2 year old fell in a pool. I was with some family/friends, and we were all going to take a walk to the park. So I got my son dressed; jacket, shoes,...etc... and then I went to go get dressed. We were all doing something and not watching him, so he decided to go out the back door and play by the pool with his tractor toy. I was in the other room, but when I came out to bring him his gloves, my family member had him wrapped in a towel, soaking wet, saying she just pulled him out of the pool!! She was panicked and he was crying, but he was ok! He wasnt choking, or panicking and was found floating on his back with his head above water yelling, "IM COLD! HELP IM COLD". I had to hold my tears back because I did not want him to be afraid of the water, so I simply said (while squeezing him tight), "OH no silly! Did you fall in the pool?!" He whined a little and said "yes! my tractor fall in the pool!".... Now ISR teaches them to hold their breath, roll to their back and float. THAT IS WHAT HE DID, FULLY CLOTHED! I am so proud, but I was also feeling so terrible and Of course blaming myself and couldn't help but think of the "what if's"...... So that is why I am sharing this story. So there are no "what if's" for all of you. ISR saved my baby. PLEASE GET YOUR BABIES I.S.R. SWIM TRAINED!!! Thank you to Frankie Bell for teaching my baby how to survive in the water and for saving his life. Show Less »
