What is Infant Swimming Resource?

Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) is the worldwide leader in survival swim lessons for children ages 6 months to 6 years. For more than 50 years, ISR has taught over 15 million lessons — equipping little ones with life-saving skills that go far beyond traditional swim instruction.

In gentle, customized one-on-one lessons, infants learn to roll onto their backs to float and breathe, while toddlers and young children master the swim-float-swim sequence to reach safety.

At ISR, our mission is simple: Not One More Child Drowns. We’re here to give your child confidence in the water — and give you peace of mind.

Meet Brittany

Certified ISR Self-Rescue Instructor

Hi, I’m Brittany — a proud wife and mom of two amazing children and one wonderful dog. Like so many parents, water safety became deeply personal for me after enrolling my daughter in ISR lessons. Watching her gain the skills and confidence to swim and float on her own was life-changing. I knew right then that ISR was more than just swim lessons — it was peace of mind.

For over a decade, I built my career as an insurance executive for a Fortune 100 business in the international division, which meant long hours and extensive over-seas travel. While I valued the experience, becoming a mom (twice over!) shifted my perspective. I realized I wanted to use my time and energy on something more meaningful — something that truly impacts the community around me. That’s when I decided to redirect my career and become a Certified ISR Self-Rescue Instructor.

Now, I dedicate my days to teaching infants and young children life-saving skills in the water. My goal is to provide lessons that are not only safe and effective, but also filled with patience, encouragement, and care. I understand firsthand the trust it takes to hand your little one over to an instructor, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly.

When I’m not in the pool either instructing or playing with my children, you’ll usually find me volunteering with my dog Harper as a certified therapy dog team, practicing Pilates, scuba diving, or enjoying a good workout. But above all, my greatest joy is being with my family and helping other families like yours feel safe, supported, and confident around the water.

I can’t wait to welcome you and your child to lessons and to be part of your family’s water safety journey.
