Hi Casey! I just checked out your new website and it is great! You really showed what a powerful and successful program it is. I also wanted to again thank you for all your patience and instruction in teaching Diego how to swim. We went on vacation and he swam back and forth across the entire pool several times doing the swim, float, swim sequence perfectly. (You would have been so proud). He really impressed the people around us at the pool because there were kids older than him in floaties who couldn't swim nearly as well. He really does enjoy being in the water and I know his knowing how to swim is a big part of it.  Sorry if it sounds like I'm bragging, but I just wanted to give you the credit you're due.

Thanks again. We'll see you again next year for more lessons. In the meantime, take care and enjoy the rest of the summer.

I am so glad that we found the ISR swim lessons. Ms. Casey is a top notch instructor. These lessons are well worth the money... My four year old son can swim hand over fist better than several other kids his same age. Not only can he swim he has the confidence he needs to be successful in the water. He also has adapted skills to get out of trouble if that would ever occur. I highly recommend these lessons to anyone with children.

Casey is an excellent ISR instructor.  She can can teach your child the skills necessary to survive in water and the skills to have a lifetime of safe fun in the water.

Good Morning Casey,

I just wanted to let you know that we are so thankful for all of your hard work teaching Gabriel to swim. We had him in the pool over the weekend and he is a little fish!

He continues to swim just like his last lesson with you on Friday. He can float, turn and swim and float again. Yesterday he was kicking and using his arms!! WOW!

He really enjoys being in the pool and doesn't want to stop. He keeps saying "again"... He got himself up on the steps (in different places in the pool). We wanted to show him there are a few different places that there are steps. He is amazing.

Well, just thought you would like to hear of another one of your success stories. Our pool is finally at a great temperature so he doesn't get cold. We will be swimming with him everyday now. Talk to you soon and we will see you in a couple of months so you can rate his progress.

Thanks again!

I am so thankful I found ISR and Casey Bunn! When my husband and I decided to build a pool I was hesitant because our boys were still so young and I worried that they would accidentally fall in and possibly drown. Our compromise was we would build the pool and install any and all safety measures to make me as comfortable as possible. We have a gate around the pool, a cloz-it on the back door, but what gives me peace is knowing that my children have learned survival techniques so that if they do fall in they have a fighting chance of escaping a drowning. I will admit the first couple of weeks were hard not only on them but on me too, but the end results are remarkable! We expected the kids to be more comfortable in the water but they amazed even my husband, especially my two year old. Both boys love to swim independently of mom and dad and floating devices and so our pool is that much more enjoyable! Our family and friends are always amazed to see my now 3-year old son swim and float and jump in the water all on his own, and while it's no substitute for supervision, it is an added tool to prevent a drowning.

Thank you Casey for finding ISR and for giving my children this wonderful knowledge!

Hello Casey,

How are you? Hope all is well. First of all, I wanted to tell you that Arianna says hello. She sees the pictures of her swimming lessons almost everyday as they are on the screensaver of my computer. She always says that’s Casey. I find that amazing since she went to your house to swim and no one was on her to learn your name but she did and I think that means she likes you.

Arianna just finished her refresher course about a month ago and she recently turned 2 years old. Since she finished her course she has decided that she just loves swimming so I am taking her to the (local pool) and we are having tons of fun. As you know, the reason why I got Arianna in ISR classes was that I actually saw a kid falling into a pool before, and having Arianna in my arms when she was barely starting to walk, I could not just jump in to get him. I felt helpless because if I put her down and jumped in the water, she could follow me and fall in as well. Someone else did get the boy out of the water and he was fine. But that situation made me react, and even though, we do not own a pool yet, I would not want Arianna falling into the water and not being able to do anything about it. I was just having nightmares about it. Arianna’s pediatrician told me about ISR. I feel so blessed that we found you. Your program is great! Arianna was swimming at only 16 months of age.

Although, I would never leave her alone at a pool or around water, it is nice to know that she can pull herself to a float and swim to the side of the pool and get out.

Ever since we have been done with the refresher lessons, she pretty much asks to go swimming just about everyday, to the point that we have decided to build a pool in our backyard. We are currently still going to the (local pool). There, all the kids and lifeguards always approach me to ask me how old she is; they can’t believe she can swim so well. Unfortunately, (local pool) would not promote your classes because they have their own, which I have seen, and honestly, I am not impressed. I would much rather do the ISR program. They start their baby classes with the parents and all they do is bounce around with babies and do bubbles. The ISR program is one to one, instructor and child and within weeks the babies are able to swim and float to survive not bounce on top of mom and blow bubbles. When your child is done with ISR lessons, he or she can swim, while other kids are running around the pools with their floaties.

Regards,
