Meet Ms. Max

Swimming has been a passion of mine for my entire life. I have always been around the pool, as a competitive swimmer, a coach, a lifeguard, an instructor, and a spectator to my daughter's team. My goal is for other families to share in the joy of being in the water together, feeling as comfortable, confident and safe as my family does!

Not only do I love swimming but I am passionate about children and their learning behaviors. I believe watching a child grow and progress is one of the most rewarding things in life. This passion stems not only from my personal experience as a parent, but also from my educational background in Child Development. I'm excited to connect with the families of my community. I am passionate about ISR's mission that "Not One More Child Drowns," and I can't wait to be the change that could save a child's life.

FAQs
If more frequent but shorter lessons are better, then why don’t you teach 7 days/week?
Everyone needs a little break from learning to process the information and in this case to give muscles a chance to recover. In addition, you need to be able to spend time with your family, as does your instructor. Weekends are family time. Periodically, if weather or other issues have cause lessons to be canceled for numerous days, your instructor may choose to offer make-up lessons on a weekend. This is strictly up to the instructor and based on the availability of parents.
How can you teach babies and young children to swim?
ISR instructors teach infants to swim by honoring each child's individual strengths and experiences. They understand the fundamentals of the behavioral sciences, child development and of sensori-motor learning as it relates to the acquisition of aquatic survival skills; they use this education to guide each child through the sequence of learning to swim and float.
Do parents have to leave during the lessons?
No. You are truly the best cheerleader your child could have. Your positive support and encouragement are invaluable to creating an effective learning environment for your child.
What is the American Academy of Pediatrics position on swimming lessons for young children?
The AAP encourages parents to consider that starting water-survival skills training at an early age must be individualized, based on the child's frequency of exposure to water, emotional maturity, physical limitations and health concerns related to swimming pools. You can view their policies and suggestions through the AAP website here: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/at- play/Pages/Swim-Lessons.aspx
