Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Waterford, MI on Sep. 04, 2009

I saw it on T.V... I heard about it a bit over the years...I looked into it on a whim but when I found the classes were so close to me I thought I would try it. My 2 year old little boy loves to play in the water so I figured it would be a good idea for him to have some skills. At first he didn't like being 'instructed' and he cried a lot, but I had already met some of the children that were doing well so I stuck it out, all summer, with me being 8 & 9 months pregnant. I even brought Joey to class on the day I was going to deliver by C-section because I didn't want him to miss anything. Now he is doing so well. He can swim under water, pull himself up on the wall, float and then turn, swim, turn and float again. WOW! It's truly amazing. Thank You "Miss Anna" for providing my lil' one with the skills to save himself if the need ever (God forbid) arises.

Anna is amazing at what she does! She is very good with children. She is very informative and professional. My son loves to swim with her. I will be recommending this program with ANNA to everyone I know. Again, she is an amazing instructor and I highly recommend this program with ANNA to everyone!

Anna is a wonderful ISR instructor that began teaching my son at 6 months old. He is now 26 months and has learned the self-rescue skills. This summer at the beach he loved the water and was a little fish. Then when on the boat, I felt a bit more at ease too. Knowing that he really knew what to do if something was to happen. We are so happy to be apart of ISR. To me, it's well worth the cost and commitment. I wish every child had this class. Thank-you Anna & ISR!

ISR is by far the most effective and well-developed swim lessons my children have ever taken. My youngest son began the five week course when he was 2-1/2. At the end of that period of time, he could swim FULLY CLOTHED to the edge of the pool by utilizing the skills taught by his ISR instructor.
He took a three week refresher course this summer and as a 4 year old, was able to retain all of the original skills he learned as a toddler. Because of his success, I signed my 6 year old up. While he already had slight swimming "skills", this program has enabled him to become a more effective swimmer! This is an amazing, lifesaving program that can not be rivaled by any other!

ISR is the one of the smartest and most valuable gifts you could ever give your child. My daughter was only 15 months old when Anna trained her to save her own life in the water. Within weeks she could float confidently on her own. I am a fire fighter, in favor of all proactive safety measures, and can honestly say these swimming techniques are priceless. This is way more than just an average swim class that teaches water familiarity, it is an opportunity to avoid a tragedy. My daughter is now 2 and loves to swim. She has retained the lifesaving skills that Anna has taught her and she can't wait to go to her occasional refresher class. If you have any doubt about babies being able to float go to the ISR web site - my daughter can float in her full clothes and diaper - just like the babies on the web site!

Have you ever looked down into the pool and see your childs eye's looking back at you.Waiting for YOU to RESCUE her? I have. A family gathering, 50 people plus. She did not know how to SAVE herself. A wave in the ocean, tip's the kick board. the "floating arm" devices we have all relied on fails and has a hole, a very slow leak while in the pool.
A six week course for infant swim/ 5 days a week/ 10 minutes a day- my daughter Reagan just turned 5 year's old. She can swim under water with her eyes open to find an adult.Or to grab the side of a pool. She knows when she goes under how to FLIP over on her back to breath and rest. She now knows she can swim under water with amazing strength when she has rested enough and to repeat the process over and over again until she reaches safety. She loves to swim now. after private lessons going no where, infant swim literally saved the day.Thank you Anna for a great and eye opening experience! My family asked me why it was so important- then they seen my little one in action in the pool with Anna. No more questions after that.Money and time well spent.A 40 minute drive, with the xtra milage on my lease car... If you have spent money on private or semi private swim classes, like I have....guess what- spend your money wisely with ISR!! Anna, thank you.And we can't wait to see Reagan in the pool with her winter clothing on- AND WATCH HER SAVE HERSELF!! AMAZING!!!!THANK YOU!
