What Makes ISR Different?
ISR’s number one priority for your child.
Prior to beginning lessons, your child’s unique medical history is reviewed by a team of medical professionals to identify any potential health issues that may affect your child’s lessons and safety. Parent education: Your child is not the only one learning during lessons. ISR’s program includes comprehensive parent education on aquatic safety and drowning prevention.
The goal of ISR is that your child becomes an aquatic problem solver.
ISR is the product over 45 years of ongoing development in the area of aquatic survival instruction for infants and children. ISR's primary focus is to teach your child to become a productive swimmer, or floater in any depth of water. Each ISR Instructor safely and gently guides your child through the process of mastering his/her survival skills. The protocols and ongoing education your Instructor receives ensures that your child, at the end of lessons, will be able to successfully demonstrate the age appropriate survival sequence, including a roll-‐ back-‐to-‐float and/or a swim-‐float-‐swim.
Certified Instructors
Each certified ISR Instructor, completes a rigorous, 8-‐week in-‐water and academic training course and participates in a highly specialized annual recertification to maintain the highest level of safety and caliber of instruction.
Lesson Types
ISR’s unique results are achieved through fully customized, safe and effective, one-on-one lessons with only your child and the Instructor in the water. What your child will learn, and the way he or she will learn it, is what makes ISR so different from traditional swimming lessons. Always putting safety first, ISR emphasizes competence, which leads to confidence, and provides the foundation for a lifetime of enjoyment in and around the water.

Mary Dickson, Certified ISR Instructor
I joined the ISR team in 2023 because I have a passion for drowning prevention and wanted to be a part of the solution.
I am a native Texan that was born and raised in the Houston Area. I received my Undergraduate Degree in Sports Medicine, as well as, my Master of Education from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. I worked in the education system for 2 years before starting my family. In recent years, I spend my time working in my church's office and volunteering in other various roles. I have been married to my husband, Sam, since 2006 and we have three amazing children, Abbie, Micah, and Lily.
