Providing compassionate, certified ISR instruction focused on helping infants and young children develop confidence, independence, and life-saving water safety skills in a safe and supportive environment.
Founded in 1966 by Dr. Harvey Barnett, Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) is now the global leader in the industry it pioneered: survival swimming lessons for infants and young children. Our team of more than 1,000 Certified ISR Instructors in more than 20 countries provides the safest and most effective survival swimming lessons available. The ISR Self-Rescue instruction our students receive today is the product of more than 50 years of research and development and has resulted in more than 15 million safe lessons worldwide.
ISR believes that pool fences, supervision, and pool alarms are important parts of a necessary multi-layered approach to drowning prevention. 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 the most important part of a drowning prevention strategy.
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.
After moving to South Florida, I became more aware of the prevalence of drowning for infants & toddlers in the United States – especially in our local community where drowning is the #1 cause of death. Coincidentally at the same time, a dear friend introduced me to ISR. This ignited my passion for making a difference in these daunting statistics and gave me an avenue to execute it.
After witnessing the ISR lessons’ fantastic results, I felt compelled to help parents experience what I had. I was so impressed with ISR’s technique & its philosophy that I decided to become an ISR Instructor.
It is absolutely amazing to see an infant confidently roll onto their back, float, and breathe until help arrives. I get chills every time a student not only nails their swim-float-swim sequence but also learns to LOVE the water. It warms my heart to help older students work through the fear of getting their faces wet and watch them fearlessly jump off the side of my pool to swim and float for fun and safety. Often when other swim programs have not worked specifically for them.
There is water everywhere here in South Florida. We need to prepare our children with the skills required to survive in & around the water. Teaching children and helping them become competent in their skills in the water is so important to me that teaching these lessons is not a task for me; it is my calling and passion.
I would be thrilled to meet you and teach your child!

There are many instructors who say they teach ISR techniques, however, unless they are listed on the ISR Instructor locator on the official ISR website and meet the criteria below, they are NOT Certified ISR Instructors.
All Certified ISR Instructors:
Clothing experiences are a thoughtfully curated and essential part of the Aqua Angels journey, introduced once your child is confidently and consistently demonstrating their foundational swim and float skills.
These sessions are reserved for the final phase of lessons, when children are ready to gently expand their abilities and experience the water in a more real-world way. During this time, your child will practice in progressively layered clothing—from light, everyday summer attire to slightly heavier seasonal outfits—allowing them to adapt with ease and confidence.
Because most unexpected water entries happen fully clothed, these experiences are invaluable. Clothing changes buoyancy, movement, and sensation in the water, and learning to navigate this—calmly and efficiently—creates a deeper level of true skill and awareness.
Within our warm, supportive, and highly guided environment, children develop lasting muscle memory, emotional confidence, and the ability to remain composed and capable—no matter the situation. It is a powerful and meaningful step in preparing your child for real-life safety, while continuing to build strength, independence, and grace in the water.
Our customers trust Aqua Angels LLC for compassionate instruction, proven swim safety techniques, and the confidence their children gain in the water. Families love seeing their little swimmers grow safer, stronger, and more independent with every lesson.
