Did you know? Children can begin ISR Self-Rescue lessons as early as 6 months old!

ISR Self- Rescue lessons teach infants and young children critical water survival skills, including how to roll onto their backs, float, rest, and breathe if they unexpectedly enter the water.

While no single layer of protection is enough, survival swim lessons are an important part of a comprehensive water safety plan.

Interested in learning more about ISR Self-Rescue lessons or applying for a Live Like Jake scholarship? Reach out to the Live Like Jake Foundation today and help give your child the gift of water safety.

Dear Friend,

Are you a parent who has lost a child to drowning? Or, are you a Swim Instructor?

Today, we have an opportunity to help prevent other families from experiencing the heartbreak of losing their children.

The Swimming & Aquatics Ed/Drowning Research-Injury Prevention Policy Institute, in partnership with the Judah Brown Project and the World Open Water Swimming Association, is asking the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to take a closer look at wearable flotation devices such as puddle jumpers, arm floaties, swim rings, swim vests, and other products that many families believe make children safer in the water.

Research suggests these products may create a false sense of security, reduce close supervision, and interfere with the development of true water safety skills.

The CPSC is listening.

On June 30, Acting CPSC Chairman Peter Feldman acknowledged that we must do better to protect children from drowning. Now we have an opportunity to make sure the voices of families are part of that conversation.

Here's How You Can Help:

1. Share Your Story

If your child was wearing or had experience with a wearable flotation device, or if you have thoughts about these products, we invite you to complete the attached survey.
Your experience may help shape future policies and improve child safety.

2. Sign the Petition

Together, we are asking the Consumer Product Safety Commission to strengthen oversight of wearable flotation devices and improve the information available to parents.
Every signature helps demonstrate that families want meaningful action.

3. Join Our National Roundtable
July 24, 2026
11:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. Eastern on Zoom

The day before World Drowning Prevention Day, families, researchers, instructors, and advocates from across the country will come together to discuss ways we can better protect children.

Whether you choose to simply listen or share your story, your voice is welcome.

Registration Link for the Roundtable on Zoom:

Why Your Voice Matters:

Your child's story cannot be changed.
But it can help protect another child.
That is a legacy no parent ever wanted to create—but one that has the power to save lives.

Hiiii 👋🏼
For those who are new here, I’m Kourtney, a Certified ISR (Infant Swimming Resource) Instructor!

I’ve been teaching ISR since 2023, but my journey started long before that. I enrolled both of my children in ISR lessons with two amazing local instructors and quickly fell in love with everything ISR stands for.

Shortly before my kids began lessons, our community experienced a heartbreaking loss when a young child drowned in a local pool accident. That tragedy deeply impacted me and solidified my passion for childhood drowning prevention. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to be part of the solution.

My favorite part of teaching ISR is helping my little friends become safer and more confident around water while continuing to spread awareness about water safety and drowning prevention.

When I’m not in the water, I’m at home keeping up with my own two children and my two bonus kids. As if life wasn’t busy enough, we’re also excited to be welcoming a baby girl in October! 💕

Fun fact: I’ve been a Dental Assistant since 2012 and currently balance working in a dental office in Savannah while teaching ISR lessons!

Now I’d love to get to know you! How did you find me, or how do we know each other? If you have any questions about me or ISR, feel free to ask in the comments below. ⬇️

Summer is such a great time for swimming but did you know that great swimmers are also made in the fall, winter, and spring? If your child didn’t get into lessons yet- it is not too late. Please reach out to learn what ISR can do to help your family enjoy the water more.
