The importance of Infant Swimming Resource (ISR)

Ensuring the safety and well-being of your child is your top priority. At our ISR swimming school in Menifee, CA, we are dedicated to providing the highest level of water safety training for infants and young kids.

Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) is a specialized program designed to equip your baby with essential self-rescue skills that could be life-saving.

Self-rescue techniques

ISR lessons teach your baby how to roll onto their back to float, rest, and breathe, which can be critical if they ever find themselves in water unsupervised.

Personalized instruction

Each child receives one-on-one attention from certified ISR instructors, ensuring that lessons are tailored to their unique needs, abilities, and learning pace.

Swim–float–swim

Older children learn to swim with their head down, roll onto their back to float and breathe, then roll back over to continue swimming to safety.

The child is the most important part of drowning prevention

ISR believes 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 — and our over 500,000 ISR graduates and over 1,000 documented survival stories are proof that children can save themselves.

Miranda O'Dell

ISR Instructor · Mother of Five · Advocate for Water Safety

As a mother of five, including 8, 7, 5, and 3-year-old twins, I understand the importance of water safety in ways that are deeply personal. My journey into becoming an Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) Instructor was shaped by my 15 years of EMS experience, where I responded to countless emergency calls — including pediatric drownings. The heartbreaking loss of a friend's young child and a near-drowning incident with one of my own twins opened my eyes to the critical need for early water safety education.

Having met my husband, a firefighter paramedic engineer, through my work in emergency services, I've always had a strong commitment to public safety. Together, we share a passion for keeping children safe, and he has been an incredible source of support in making this mission a family endeavor.
