Welcome to Fayetteville ISR!
Give your child the competence, confidence, and skills of aquatic safety with ISR Self-Rescue.
What is ISR?
Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) is the safest and most effective provider of survival swimming lessons worldwide, teaching ISR Self-Rescue skills to children ages 6 months to 6 years old. With more than 55 years of research and experience and the highest safety standards in the industry, ISR can deliver the best survival swimming instruction in the world today. The result? Over 19 million safe and effective lessons delivered, providing children with a foundation for safety and a lifetime of fun in and around the water.
Today, our mission, “Not One More Child Drowns,” is the foundation of everything we do. ISR believes in multiple layers of protection against aquatic accidents, which include pool fences, alarms, and active adult supervision. However, traditional lines of defense break down, and the over 4,000 drowning deaths per year bear a grim testament to the fact that traditional approaches are missing a key component: the child. ISR’s core conviction is that the child is essential to a drowning prevention strategy. Our over 450,000 ISR graduates and hundreds of documented survival stories prove that children can and do save themselves. Children are curious, capable, and have an uncanny ability to overcome obstacles like pool fences; at ISR, we take that ability and teach them skills to potentially save themselves if they find themselves in the water alone.
Meet Your Instructor
I have three children, ages 14, 12, and 10. My husband is in the military, and we have lived in Fayetteville since 2009. I swam competitively from the age of seven through college. I have always loved the water and learned the importance of water safety early in my life. I was raised in South Florida and am used to being around pools and oceans. When I had my daughter in 2010, I knew I wanted her to have fun but be safe while swimming. I enrolled her in ISR and, at the time, had never heard of this type of swim instruction. In all my years of swimming, lifeguarding, and teaching swim lessons, I had never seen such a successful way to teach lifesaving skills to such young children. At that moment, I decided that this was something I wanted to be a part of.
