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!

Katie Smith, aka Coach Katie, is great. Our daughters love working with her, they have learned a lot in the first 3 weeks we have worked with her and we can't wait to see how much further they will go. Coach Katie has been able to quickly develop a great relationship with both of our daughters, pushing them to new heights. She has also provided great insight for my wife and I to work on continued practice at home.
