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

Both of my girls have been swimming with Miss Ellen since they were just 1 year old, and I could never fully express the gratitude I feel for what she has taught them. Sofia, now 5, has become an incredible swimmer with confidence, strength, and a true love for the water. Olivia, at just 2 years old, has already learned how to swim and float independently in case she falls into a body of water - an absolutely essential, life-saving skill that brings me tremendous peace of mind. Miss Ellen is not only an exceptional instructor. She is a wonderful person and a true friend. Her patience, dedication, and passion for teaching shine through in every lesson. She has given my girls skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives! I recommend ISR and Miss Ellen to anyone who wants their children to be safe and confident in the water. Thanks to her, Sofia is eager to continue learning, and she is already showing so much natural talent. We are so grateful for everything Miss Ellen has done for our family!

Miss Ellen is truly amazing! My son began ISR lessons with her just a week after turning 3, with no prior swimming experience. From learning how to float and perform survival skills to now developing proper swimming strokes, his progress has been unbelievable. Seeing his success, I knew my daughter needed to start lessons even sooner. She began lessons at just 1 year old and has never worn floaties or a puddle jumper. Because of Miss Ellen, I feel confident and truly safe with my children in and around the water. We owe their skills - and our peace of mind - to her!!
