Phoenix ISR

Teaching young children to be water safe.

Learn to swim with Ms. Erin!

My name is Erin Ford and I am very proud to teach ISR lessons in Phoenix, AZ.  Teaching aquatic safety to young children is essential in a city like Phoenix, where backyard pools are very common. I confidently believe that every child has the ability and should learn water safety and self-rescue skills.  Lessons occur at my private home residence located near 32nd Street and Shea in Phoenix.

As an ISR parent myself, I truly believe in the value that ISR brings to a child and family.  When my son was a very curious 2-year-old, I was absolutely amazed as I watched him learn to maneuver through the pool and respect the water as his lessons progressed.  Having my son skilled through ISR gave me peace of mind that he can safely enjoy the pool, and self-rescue himself should the situation arise. Through this experience and my desire to serve families in my community with a lasting impact, I became a Certified ISR Instructor.  Children are wonderful, eager learners and it would be my greatest pleasure to take your child through this safe and trusted program.

HOW IS ISR DIFFERENT?

Each ISR lesson is custom-tailored to your child, teaching them the self rescue swimming skills that are developmentally appropriate through one-on-one lessons.

IT'S PREVENTABLE!

Did you know that drowning is the leading cause of death in children under age 5? But it doesn't have to be! ISR teaches each student independent skills in the water so they can swim, float, and self-rescue - building the foundation for a lifetime of safe enjoyment of the water!

PARENT TESTIMONIALS

Living in the country and having family that live on the lake we knew ISR was a priority with little ones. Friends recommended Jessie. In the span of time we have had with her my oldest has gone from hating the water ... to being a fish. Her passion, patience, & love for her job and children are evident in every single session. Our youngest who is a daredevil is taking strides that put my mind at ease with him loving the water. Knowing that my children will have been taught the resources & skills to save themselves if needed is not something you can put a price on. As our older child now calls her, Aunt Jessie, will be be someone we are forever grateful for and continue to visit for our maintenance and/or refresher lessons. Hands down best experience for our kids in the water!

I learned about ISR sadly, when a friend's 18 month old daughter drown in a pool only a few feet away from her. I promised I would not let that happen to me. I got BEYOND lucky with the most outstanding instructor. Lisa is an absolute angel and gem as a human and in the ISR space and water safety in general. Her way of teaching is so calming yet, direct and my daughter was impressing me from day ONE. She picked up everything Lisa taught her right away. By the time we got to week 4, I was in literal tears watching what my little girl was capable of, but also sad for all of the babies that could've possibly been saved. I knew in that moment that I would not be one of them because of what Lisa taught my baby girl. My gratitude is for life and I cannot sing Lisa's praises loud enough, nor that of the ISR program. SO grateful. We have gained a forever friend. Thank you for teaching my baby girl how to save herself and respect the water. I am still in AWE. This program is a treasure. I hope one day that the government will fund it as all families should have this chance. It should be as important as the basic health and wellbeing of ALL children, because it literally can be life and death.
