It is hard to believe that only 10 minutes per day results in so much improvement!! I am so blown away by the program and Emma is A+++. I’m so happy she was our instructor. Fletcher was constantly smiling while in the water with her.

We absolutely LOVE our instructor Emma Buckler. She answers any questions I have, she is very reassuring and informative during lessons. She always made a point to let me know what she would be doing next, why should would be doing it, and the way it taught my son what to do. I really really appreciate the way she made me calm while she had my child in an otherwise vulnerable circumstance.

Emma goes above and beyond with all her students, catering to each need individually. We have been so pleased with her performance and dedication to our child! Emma is absolutely phenomenal and SUCH an asset to your program! We will be using her in the coming years and with every child!

I am so shocked at the progress my child has made thus far. Any parent contemplating on doing this or not...just DO IT. It is so worth it! Emma is an amazing instructor I would recommend her over and over again.

Emma Buckler was very patient with my child. She continued to give encouragement and high fives even when my child wasn’t exactly expecting of them. She was always available to answer questions before and after class, as well as, answer any questions through messenger. My child ended up loving her lessons and asks to go “swim with Emma” even though our lessons are over. She learned so much in such a short period of time.

Mrs. Emma has been wonderful! She makes my little boy feel comfortable with her and teaching how to be safe in the water.

It’s always such a pleasure to watch our kids skills grow from day one to the end of lessons! Emma Buckler is a wonderful teacher who really cares about the kids and the mission behind ISR lessons!

Emma Buckler is great with our girl. She is very patient and gives her the attention needs to keep her safe but learn what she needs to. I have suggested ISR to anyone who has littles. I’m only in week 2 but would do it again.

Emma Buckler has been amazing working with my son. He has learned so much and I feel confident in his water safety skills. We are thankful for all Emma has taught him.

Before we started swim lessons, my little girl didn’t even like getting splashed in the face. She would cry with any water in her face. Now we are 3 weeks in and she is floating on her back and can swim a short distance under water. I’m completely blown away by her progress.
— Megan B
We are so impressed with her! She is so gentle, patient, and talented! My daughter has picked up on floating skills so quickly!

100% agree that Ms Emma is amazing! “S” was older when he saw her for ISR because we had tried traditional swim lessons in the past when he was younger and had a traumatizing experience to the point he was afraid to have his hair washed in the bathtub. Awful! He was so afraid of swimming without a float of some kind. We signed him up with ISR and Ms Emma was so extremely patient and helped him become comfortable in the water again. Not only did she teach him to swim but she helped him overcome an extreme fear and gain his confidence back! He loved her! He is a great swimmer now and we couldn’t be more thankful for her patience and skills!!

I cannot thank and recommend Emma Buckler Isr enough for all she has taught our boy! He has learned self rescue skills that he will use and build on for years to come. I am so proud of him and the progress he has made.

We LOVE Ms. Emma Buckler Isr!! Caroline was so excited to start her lessons back up today. She’s such a good little swimmer and we are so proud! Contact Emma to get started! 💗🏊🏻‍♀️

20 Seconds.
20 seconds is all it takes for a toddler to drown and to me that is an absolutely terrifying fact.
When I learned about Infant Swim Resource (ISR) I knew this was absolutely something we had to get Isla into.
Today was Isla’s last day of ISR swim lessons and I now have a sense of relief knowing she has the best chance of survival if something terrible happens and she falls in water unsupervised.
She can now swim and flip to her back and float.
We are so proud of our Isla girl and all her progress.
Huge thanks to Emma Buckler Isr for teaching our girl these priceless skills.
As Isla says she can now “swim like fish”

Banks checked ISR off of his to do list today with his favorite, Mrs. Emma! ✅
We are so thankful for the peace of mind we have after everything he’s learned these last 6 weeks! 🙌🏼

After 6 weeks our water lover boy has finished his first IRS swim session with the best Emma Buckler Isr. Thank you for being so patient and working hard with our boy to master life saving water skills!
— Kristen L
6 weeks ago “L” didn’t know how to swim and was terrified of going underwater. She can now swim the entire length of a pool and knows when to float to breathe after ISR! If you’re questioning spending the money for ISR lessons, I highly recommend you do! It gives me so much more peace of mind having a pool with young kids. And now she loves swimming 🐠 So proud of our girl.
We’ve loved working with Emma Buckler Isr this summer - she works wonders and is so talented at what she does!

I just can’t tell you how much better I feel knowing that Beckham can roll and float in the water! Thank you so much to Emma Buckler Isr for your expertise, love, and dedication to teaching these children a life-saving skill! Thankful for you and your sweet friendship
— Whitney G
As much as this boy LOVES water, my mind is a little more at ease knowing he has gained the skills he needs to get himself to a point where we are able to rescue him if he were to fall into the water. He’s not quite Michael Phelps, but he has the sweetest little swim and does so well floating. We are beyond proud of our little fish and so thankful for his AMAZING ISR instructor Emma Buckler Isr

Happy the boys completed their ISR refresher today! They have improved a lot in their swimming, as well as learned new back strokes and breast strokes & breathing with swimming. They already knew how to swim/float/swim but they did practice those floating skills too.
— Rachel W
Today was the last day of swim lessons! I am so impressed with the amount of patience and love Colton’s instructor had. She was always so encouraging and saw the potential even when I couldn’t. He screamed for momma the whole class every class 😅 but we both got through it!
Today he put his skills to the test, fully clothed and in a regular diaper (he was sooo heavy!). He did what he was trained to do - swim and float! It was much harder with the added weight, but it is important as accidents usually occur when they’re fully clothed.
Thank you Emma Buckler Isr for a wonderful class! I will highly recommend you to all my friends! We look forward to doing a refresher course in the future! 💦
