Testimonials
“ISR has changed the way our family looks at swimming lessons. My husband and I want our children to be competent
swimmers, so that in the event of an emergency, they will know how to remain calm in the water and live to swim another
day! ISR swimming has helped my child become familiar with the water in ways that I could not teach on my own! We have a
lake behind our property and both sets of grandparents have lake houses. It is our top priority to instill safety skills in the
water. ISR was the right choice for our family's needs!” Kristin Large, 2006

The Sooner... The Safer
Patty,
I had to tell you about Luke swimming this weekend. He went twice today and did not want
to get out of the water even though he was shivering and covered in goose bumps. He was
totally floating on his own with my hands out of the water over his face so he could see
them. He just laid there and floated for the longest time. The second he hit the steps and
turned around he was ready to come back to me. As soon as he got to me he was ready to
go back to the steps. It is amazing!!!!!!!!!! He just enjoys it so much now.
Thank you! Connie, 2007


Patty is personal, professional and flexible with any summer scheduling/vacation plans. She is exceptional with young toddlers
who have never had swimming lessons before. Melissa, 2008
If you live in florida or near water, this program is a must. if you have a pool you NEED this program so that your children will
be confident swimmers. When our family has stayed at hotels and used the swimming pool, parents have stopped me to ask
how my children learned at such a young age to play and float in the water with such confidence and I always recommend ISR
to them. Shannon, 2008
Thank you Patty for your dedication and patience in teaching my son to survive in the water. I feel more confident to have him
around water knowing he could save himself if the need be. He is a little fishy now!
Patty really has a passion for what she does, and it shows! It can be somewhat nerve racking watching your young kids
going underwater and just trying to learn how to float, and Patty gives you that reassurance you need as well as the kids
and to have that trust in someone you don't even know, I think says a lot. Thank You Patty!
Patty is great at what she does. She is patient and calm with the children and WILL
produce results. I was a skeptic at first that my 2 year old would be able to swim.....but
she does now thanks to Patty! She also enjoys the water and does not fight me at bath
time. This program delivers more than just swimming lessons.
Try it and you will see a difference in your child!
Neither of my children (ages 2 and 4) would
even put their heads under water at the time
we started lessons. Now, not only are they able
to do the swim/float/swim sequence to get to
the side of the pool, they are also jumping into
the pool, swimming the length of the pool, and
diving for items on the bottom of the pool. These
lessons made my children safer in the pool and
have added immensly to the enjoyment they get
out of swimming!
Thank you, Patty! Christy Carson, 2008

Patty- I want to thank you for coming to our house and working with Brayden. You are a great instructor and took time with
Brayden to learn things on his own instead of rushing him. He is doing great. He absolutely loves the water and swimming.
He has truly amazed us and others around us. He will get in pool and swim to us from the steps and turn around and do it
over and over. He has also started climbing around the wall from the steps and will let himself go and swim to the "top step"
all on his own. He has gotten much better with floating as well. We were out in Arizona on business and Brayden and I went
to the pool one afternoon and he proudly showed off his skills. He would come and get me from the step and go back to the
step, where children older and bigger than him were sitting on the steps not wanting to get in. It has made him much more
confident in and around the water, as well with other things in general. It has made our pool a fun place for our entire family.
Thank you very much. Alli, Chad and Brayden, 2008
Patty has taught my son for three summers, and each
time has been a wonderful and valuable experience.
He learned to swim and float in that first summer at
18 months, and honed those skills the following
years. Without hesitation, I would recommend ISR
and Patty Thompson specifically to ANYONE interested
in having their child be truly confident and competent
in the water.

This program is amazing! The best investment that I ever made for my daughter. It's amazing what she learned how to do at
15 months old. I purchased peace of mind, and that is priceless. Gisela, 2008
The peace of mind I now have is such a welcome relief. Last year I was always so nervous at the pool, following my son
around. Now I can enjoy the pool with him as he swims, climbs, and slides. Thank you!
Patty took great care to understand my daughter's individual need to appreciate and respect the lessons and water. I really
appreciated the personal relationship that was built to enhance my daughters lessons. Wendy, 2008
THANK YOU for teaching our child these invaluable skills! She was afraid of the water before taking your lessons and wouldn't
go past the steps of the pool. Now we can't get her out of the water! She has gained so much confidence and truly enjoys
swimming. People are amazed when they see how well she can swim at her age! I absolutely recommend this program to
anyone with small children. Patty did an amazing job with our daughter and she still talks about "Ms. Patty" and how she
wants to go back to swim lessons.
Brett just loved the water before lessons but now he ABSOLUTELY LOVES the water. Not
only did this course teach him how to be confident and safe in the water, it reminded me
what I needed to do if I had an emergency in the water. Since we have a pool and live
on a lake, survival swim lessons were our top priority. We are so glad to have found you
and ISR! April Arrington, 2008
ISR Kids is by far the best investment I could have made for my children. They have fun
in the water and are confident swimmers without being risk takers. They know their
limitations and what they can and cannot do in the water. It just brings me great joy to
watch them enjoy the water so much and these were two children afraid of getting
water in their eyes! Thank You Patty!! Michelle, 2008
I don't know where to start? Miss Patty was so patient and good with my children and
me!! I was a little sad to have lessons end! This was the best thing I could have done
for them. It was amazing how well the lessons went and I am so Thankful for Miss
Patty!! Pamela, 2008
WOW! What an awesome program. My children are comfortable in the water and can
apply what they have learned in ISR outside of the instructor's pool. I have tried other
swimming lessons and this is by far the most valuable. Katherine, 2008
