🥁Drum roll for our second new ISR instructor - Danielle!!🎉💦👏🏼
Danielle is a long time acquaintance that (lucky for me!) grew into one of my dearest friends. You will be so impressed with her gentle demeanor, sincere heart and cheerful attitude, I guarantee it! Danielle will be seeing returning students in July for a refresher session before welcoming her baby girl and taking maternity leave until next Spring. What a blessing to have her as part of the ISR Savannah team!
We’re THRILLED you’re here, Danielle!!💕🏊
——————————————————————————
Hello! My name is Danielle Hess and I am a wife and mom of soon to be 5 littles- one boy and
four girls. My husband and I met when we were in college at the United States Military
Academy at West Point. When my family settled in Savannah, Georgia in 2018, I went to
nursing school at Georgia Southern and became a registered nurse. I’ve always had an affinity toward the water as I lived by the ocean growing up, became a beach lifeguard at 16 years old, and was a competitive swimmer in middle school and high school.
When I was just 6 years old I saved my brother from drowning in our family pool when he was 2
years old. While my dad was filling my bike tires on the other side of the backyard, my brother,
bypassing the security of the gate to the pool, toddled into the pool area and jumped into the
deep end with no floatation device. I can’t fully explain why I went looking for him or what
made me check the pool area, but I am thankful I did and was able to jump in and bring him to
the shallow end while calling for my dad’s help. Since then, I’ve learned the value of water
safety for all- especially for our most vulnerable population- children. Since becoming a
mother myself and having been an ISR Mom watching my children go through the course, I
have become even more of an avid proponent of educating all on water safety and I am so
excited to be a part of the ISR Savannah community!
