Water Safety with Meredith Mills, Certified ISR Instructor

"We completed ISR classes for my daughter before she was a year old. Meredith did an excellent job caring for our daughter during the lessons teaching my daughter to roll onto her back and float. Meredith did not push her until she knew she was ready. She also did a great job telling me how and why she was utilizing specific techniques so that I could better understand the science behind the ISR program. I currently have her and our son signed up for this year and I am so excited to see how much they have progressed now that they are more physically capable!"

“Our daughter completed her ISR lessons with Meredith in October 2025 at 20 months old, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. Meredith has a rare gift for working with toddlers. She strikes the perfect balance between being gentle and firm, ensuring our daughter felt supported while staying focused on these life-saving skills. The transformation in our daughter’s ability was nothing short of amazing. Our daughter has a preference for her right leg and she struggled to kick with her left. Meredith was patient with her and confident that she would get the skill with enough practice and repetition. She was correct! Our daughter finally had the “aha” moment at about the 4.5 week mark! It was remarkable to witness. I also really loved that for the last lesson, I was able to get into the pool with them and practice the skills with her so that I can continue to practice with my daughter. We have done ISR in the past with our oldest child, but this was our first year being a host pool. It was such a great experience. We loved just being able to walk outside at our designated time. So if you’re considering hosting, I would definitely recommend it. Everyone was so respectful of our property and there was little to no noise that could be heard from inside our home. If you are considering ISR in general, we cannot recommend Meredith enough. She doesn't just teach swimming; she teaches survival and self-assurance.”
