Kristy Squire- ISR Master Instructor

Snapped this photo from my Meta AI glasses today during a quiet moment in the pool. Is this not one of the coolest pics you’ve seen?

Regarding ISR, I am commonly asks “But do they swim?”

What do you think?

You know I love a good parent behind the scenes video!

Mommy caught the excitement for her student and I when she rolled independently to her back after swimming.

15 month old little dude handles the water like a BOSS.

Trying out for world’s fastest baby swimmer…this sweet face 💕

On this World 🌎 Drowning Prevention Day, I want to share with you ways you can protect your children from tragedy.

And scream as loud as I can that DROWNING IS A PREVENTABLE TRAGEDY!

⭐️Enroll your child in high quality swimming lessons which include teaching independent, self-rescue skills
⭐️Learn CPR and have all caregivers for your child do the same
⭐️Install a child safety fence around the full perimeter of your pool
⭐️Always stay within arms reach of your child when in the water and always be IN the water with your child
⭐️Assign a “Water Watcher” in 15 minute increments if you are around the water regardless if swimming time is planned- they must stay off their phone during their “shift”
⭐️Hire a lifeguard if you plan to have a party where a pool or other water is present
⭐️Place tables, chairs, or any other furnishings a few feet away from your pool child safety fence. Curious children can climb onto these items and find their way over the fence
⭐️Regularly check the integrity of pool fence latches and door locks leading to the water
⭐️Remove pool floats and toys from the pool when finished swimming to not entice a little one into the water
⭐️Dress your child in a brightly colored swimsuit if at the beach or pool
⭐️Use only US Coast Guard approved life jackets when on open water- test that your life vest floats a child face up before using
⭐️When traveling to a location with a pool, ensure preventative measures are in place or bring your own

Her smile while she learns is everything!

When we started together everything felt a bit scary. We worked to build trust and skills at her pace and now she’s nearly a mermaid.

Can your little one swim independently like this?

An important part of our ISR learning together is teaching parents how they can best interact with their little fish at home. We want you to feel comfortable allowing them to use their skills and there’s no better way than having you pop in on our last lesson before we move onto a maintenance schedule.

Don’t worry, you get to stay dry the rest of the time!

This little cutie was excited to earn her medal for completing her ISR session 💕. She’s officially a little mermaid.
