A few comments from the May/June/July 2018 parent surveys:
Working with Kim Magella has been great. She adapts the lessons as we go to meet my son's needs. I feel much more comfortable having my son around water now that I've seen he knows to float if he doesn't find anything to grab onto.
We have loved watching Clark during his first week. It was great watching Kim Magella tell Stacey Scott tips on how to work with the kids. Stacey was finishing up her training. They were both great. It was amazing to see how Clark got right back into the swing of things today since it's Monday. - Surilda S.
Kim is great and informative. - John H.
Kim Magella is great and very eager to help my child attain the necessary skills! We love her! - Lauren B.
Kim Magella has been incredible working with my son. She is calm, reassuring, and unbelievably good at her job. I couldn't be more pleased. - Melissa S.
Kim is the best!! - Bree S.
Kim Magella is amazing! She has taught 3 of my 4 children ISR skills, and they are awesome swimmers now! My 4th child will begin lessons this fall - we are excited! - Lauren B
Thank you everyone for the kind words! I LOVE working with the children!!

Lisa,
You taught my daughter Callie back in the spring. She is 20 months now and swimming like a fish!!! She jumps off the step and swims underwater to me! I am so amazed at what she can do and how quickly she is able to get herself to a float if needed! The Instruction you provided was priceless and I can't thank you enough!!!!

Kim - ISR saved Kieran!
I truly thought I would never send you this email, but you have heard that before, I'm sure.
We spent the last two weeks in Michigan staying that the lakefront family cottage located on Grand Trevors Bay of Lake Michigan. Liam and I and the kids; Eamon and Kieran returned from a boat ride one afternoon. We unloaded the boat and Liam headed down the dock, about 300 ft from the shore. I stayed behind to help the other kids and we were both aware that Kieran was following him. Because we had stopped for a swim, Kieran was cold and was wrapped in a towel as we had done several times before.
Just a few moments later I heard Kieran crying. I looked up from the boat, spotted Liam nearly at the shore, but Kieran ws not on the dock. His cries drew my eyes to the water about 5 feet from the dock midway between the boat and the shore, and I saw the blue towel and Kieran floating face up in the water.
Seven months pregnant, I jumped out of the boat and sprinted down the dock. When I reached him he was cyring and was saying "towel", as the beach towel had pinned his arms but he was still floating; his entire face was above the water.
Words cannot adequetly express the terror I felt from the time he was in the water until he was in my arms.
No one heard or saw it happen. He was not in the wtaer long but I believe there would have been consequesns if he'd not had ISR instruction and learned to float. Liam and I are beyond grateful to you for your efforts. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
While we were big supporters of ISR before, I feel even stronger about this program now. I know how quickly kids can slip into the water even with adults near by.

I took Audrey swimming yesterday. She was picture perfect. Swam 2-3 seconds and did the best floats I have ever seen her do. She rested just like she should. She could have been in a commercial for IRS she looked so good. You did a great job teaching her. Keep us on your mailing list, I hope to refer more kids to you in the future. I think the program is the best. Thanks!

Hi Lisa,
We are sooo glad that we went through ISR swim with you and that we had a refresher last week. We had the BEST day in the pool with Liam today. He swam back and forth to us and begged for more. He even asked to be flipped! He successfully floated, completed swim float swims, and he jumped into the water repeatedly. Vivi jumped, without our help, into the deep end and completed a swim float swim to the ladder. It was an amazing day!
Thank you and we hope to see you soon!
