On Maternity Leave💓👶🏼

I am on maternity leave through Summer 2026. I will resume maintenance lessons for existing clients in September and will begin taking new students again in early 2027.

The best way to be notified of my new student openings, upcoming sessions, etc is by joining my waitlist here: https://tinyurl.com/Waitlistlinkisr

Please reach out via email with questions as I don’t check Facebook/Instagram messages as often. Please note, my reply time will be slower during maternity leave.

A few general summer water safety reminders:
💧Supervision is one of the most important drowning prevention barriers. Most drownings happen during non swim times, so supervision is critical anytime a body of water is nearby, even if you are not actively swimming
💧Ensure fences/gates are latched closed when swim time is over
💧Maintain a 1:1 or 1:2 adult to child ratio whenever possible at the pool
💧Avoid wearable flotation devices in *pools* but always utilize a USCG life vest on open water
💧Don’t rely on other adults or siblings/children to supervise your child in the water
💧If a child is missing, check the water FIRST

Have a great summer!

“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
