Certified ISR Instructor

Meet Mrs. Jen

Teaching ISR is my joy—helping children feel safe and parents feel at peace.

My Story

I have been an ISR mom since 2014, with both of my children completing this life-saving program. Experiencing the confidence and protection ISR gave our family inspired me to become a certified instructor in 2019, so I could help bring those same benefits to other families. Over the past six years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching more than 280 students critical survival swim skills. ISR is built on a mission of safety—adding a vital layer of protection around water while empowering children and parents with the confidence to safely enjoy swimming.

At Mrs. Jen’s ISR Swim Lessons, children ages 6 months to 6 years receive personalized survival swim instruction in a safe, supportive environment. Lessons are taught in my home pool, where each child is guided with patience, encouragement, and individualized attention. My teaching philosophy is centered on equipping children with ISR’s time-tested, life-saving survival skills while nurturing their confidence and sense of security in and around the water. Together, we’ll ensure your child develops the skills they need for a lifetime of safe and enjoyable swimming experiences.

FAQs

What other benefits does the ISR lesson experience provide students?

Every child is unique. However, many parents report that once their young children have mastered learning to swim, the resulting confidence in their abilities engenders a positive self-concept that is often demonstrated in other aspects of their personalities. There are also obvious health and other psychological gains.

Are swimming lessons for infants and young children safe?

I can’t speak for all swim lessons, but I can tell you ISR is dedicated to safety and maintaining numerous safety protocols to promote safe lessons. Your child's health and well-being are our highest priority and are closely monitored on a daily basis. In addition, your child's medical and developmental history is a mandatory part of the ISR national registration process, all of which is held strictly confidential. All ISR instructors undergo intensive and rigorous training that far exceeds any other training program of this kind. Each ISR instructor is also required to recertify yearly with emphasis on quality control, safety and lesson efficiency. Your education in the area of aquatic safety for your entire family is an integral part of your child's lessons. You will receive access to the "Parent Resource Guide" to inform you about every aspect of swimming and aquatic safety for infants and children. With research, you will find that ISR is not only the safest survival swimming program but also the most effective for teaching infants and young children.

How can you teach babies and young children to swim?

ISR instructors teach infants to swim by honoring each child's individual strengths and experiences. They understand the fundamentals of the behavioral sciences, child development and of sensori-motor learning as it relates to the acquisition of aquatic survival skills; they use this education to guide each child through the sequence of learning to swim and float.

Do you have children that just can’t learn the skills?

No. Every child can learn. It is my job to find the best way to communicate the information so that it makes sense to the child. I set your child up to be successful every time you bring them to me. I start where they are and through consistent lessons, we see progress.
