All About Miss Ellen

Being an ISR instructor over the past 20+ years has been the biggest blessing of my life! I love getting to know all my swim families and watching all "my" babies as they grow into big kids! Knowing that each child has a unique personality makes each lesson both fun and challenging. I make sure each child is taught based on their personality and provide a safe and loving environment. I also value the importance of what we are doing, therefore, I also provide an environment that challenges the child with every opportunity to learn.

As I am also certified to teach stroke work, my ultimate goal is to be a part of each child's full swim lesson journey. Many of my students begin lessons at 6 months old and continue with me through swim team! I take such pride in seeing pictures of them with their medals!

I am excited to teach your child next!!

IT'S
PREVENTABLE!

Did you know that drowning is the leading cause of death in children under age 5? But it doesn't have to be! ISR teaches each student independent skills in the water so they can swim, float, and self-rescue - building the foundation for a lifetime of safe enjoyment of the water!

PARENT TESTIMONIALS

Knowing how quickly circumstances can change, my husband and I were determined that our daughter learn life-saving water skills at an early age. Miss Ellen came highly recommended, and from the very first session - when our daughter was just 8 months old - it was clear that she is both highly knowledgeable and deeply committed to each child she teaches. She took the time to truly understand our daughter and patiently taught her how to turn and float with confidence. Now 2 years old, our daughter has completed two summers with Miss Ellen. Each summer we were amazed by the progress she makes in such a short time. While anyone can be an instructor, Miss Ellen's compassion, patience, and genuine care for every child and family truly sets her apart. Her dedication is evident in every session, and we are grateful for the positive impact she has had on our daughter. We are very much looking forward to a 3rd summer with Miss Ellen!

We started with Miss Ellen when our son was just 9 months old and he is now almost 2 years old. We are beyond grateful for her. She is truly amazing and has such a natural gift with babies and children. She has taught our son important, life-saving swim skills, while making him feel confident and safe in the water. Miss Ellen genuinely feels like family to us, and it is clear how much she cares about the children she teaches. We feel so lucky to have her in our lives and cannot recommend her enough!
