Swim With Emily ISR

04/22/2026

“I can’t believe you’d put your kids in ISR, it’s so traumatic!!”

No… you know what’s traumatic? Losing your child.

ISR (Infant Swimming Resource) teaches babies as young as 6 months how to survive in the water if the unthinkable happens. Not just “swim” but survive.

The focus isn’t on swimming laps. It’s on floating. Because swimming is exhausting for little bodies. They learn to swim just enough to turn themselves onto their back, float, breathe, and rest. Then repeat. That’s what saves lives.

Lessons are only 10 minutes a day.

Is it hard at first? Yes, mostly for the parents. Watching your child learn something new is uncomfortable sometimes. But within days, something clicks. They gain confidence. They understand what to do.

And by the end?
They can fall into the water fully clothed, shoes and all, and know how to save themselves.

That is worth the price and commitment to me.

Quarterly Facebook update! Another little babe will be joining our family soon🥰 My schedule is full for new students until this little one makes their arrival. I will not be teaching ~May-August. If you kiddo hasn't seen me in a few months, this is your sign to get back on my schedule ASAP to ensure they are ready for summer. I have maintenance availability now through ~May.

Maintenance lessons will resume in September. I don't have a set in stone new student session planned and likely will not until after baby is here. I may run a small new student session in Fall, or I may wait until early 2027 to take on new students again. Either way, you can join my waitlist here to be notified of new student openings: https://www.webaccomplice.app/scheduler_app/initiate_waitlist/eplemons/0/1

If you want to get your kiddo in before summer, Julia Buddie Isr has a few April openings left! Contact her ASAP to snag a spot.

As always, I am not super active on Facebook, so follow me on instagram for updates @ swimwithemilyisr

I hope everyone is staying healthy and warm during this 5 year long winter😝

With love,
Emily

Read the caption!

Pool season is around the corner! 😎 I am seeing lots of Facebook posts inquiring about swimming lessons in our area.

Here are some IMPORTANT questions to ask potential swim instructors for your kids:

1. What INDEPENDENT skills will your child leave lessons with AND how long will it take to reach that goal?

2. What professional certifications do they hold, and how much experience do they have teaching swimming lessons?

3. Is their CPR up to date? Are they insured?

4. Are they required to participate in continuing education each year?

5. What safety standards must they adhere to? Do they review each child’s medical and developmental history prior to beginning lessons?

6. Do they offer lessons throughout the year to maintain your child’s swim skills?

All of these questions are significant because your child’s safety and skills in the water are essential.

The sooner, the safer!!!
