My journey with Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) began the same way it does for many parents—with a desire to keep my children safe. For me, that desire was sparked by a terrifying near-drowning incident at a community park. I was close enough to get to my son in time, but the experience shook me to my core. From that day forward, I was determined to find a program that would truly teach my children the skills they needed to survive in the water.

I tried multiple swim programs, searching for something effective and meaningful. When I finally discovered ISR, everything clicked. Here was a program that didn’t just teach children to be comfortable in the water—it taught them real, life-saving survival skills that would stay with them for years to come. I enrolled my younger son as well, even though he was just over a year old. It was nerve-wracking at first, but he completed his training— and now, at four years old, he absolutely loves the water.

When it came time for refresher lessons, I met Kim Marks and Cassidy Brown of Safe Aquatics. Their passion, professionalism, and support ultimately inspired me to pursue ISR training myself.

I completed my certification in Bogotá, Colombia, where I am originally from, and fully immersed myself in everything the ISR mission stands for. Today, I am proud and excited to bring that knowledge, passion, and experience to our community.

My goal is simple: to share the gift of survival swim skills and carry forward ISR’s mission of “Not One More Child Drowns.”
