ISR with Ms. Katie

About Me

Hi! I'm Katie Smith, a proud ISR Instructor located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. I've been coaching swimming since 1998 when I began teaching traditional swim lessons in Central Florida. In 2009, I made the incredible decision to train as an ISR Instructor, first serving families in the greater Washington DC area and now teaching little ones in South Florida!

Even when I'm not teaching, I'm always doing something in the water - from wake surfing, SCUBA, snorkeling, and paddle boarding, it's the mermaid life for my daughter and me! I know that by teaching your child to be safe in and around the water, they can fully enjoy the incredible waters where we live, too.

HOW IS ISR DIFFERENT?

Each ISR lesson is custom-tailored to your child, teaching them the self rescue swimming skills that are developmentally appropriate through one-on-one lessons.

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

The whole experience thus far has been great. It’s amazing to see my girls learning this skill so fast. One of the best decisions we’ve made as parents.

Katie Smith was the right instructor for my strong-willed 5-year old. In just a few days over the past few weeks, my child has turned from a crying, fearful child to a confident, happy, cannonballer. Katie was stern but gentle and encouraging. So grateful for her time and understanding.
