Welcome to ISR lessons with Yvonne Mouser

Earlier this summer, my husband and I set a goal to enroll our 4 year old daughter ISR swimming lessons. Even though she had received group swimming lessons every summer, she had developed a fear of going underwater or "sinking to the bottom." She refused to enter the pool without a floating ring, and she would panic if water got on her face. We knew she needed swimming lessons that would teach her skills she would retain to allow her to be comfortable in the water, and more importantly, protect herself should the unthinkable happen. Unfortunately, because we are a single income family with a special needs child, the cost of ISR was just too much for our family to handle. But thanks to Helping Hands Seminole and our ISR instructor Yvonne Mouser, we are now the proud parents of a little mermaid! She is a different child in the water than she was just a few weeks ago. She asks every day if she can go swim at a pool, and she loves to show off for our family and friends. We are thrilled that she has found a confidence in the water that she lacked, and just as important are the safety skills ISR has taught her. She can now swim, flip to floating on her back to conserve energy and breathe, and then flip to swimming again when she's ready. She knows to look for an exit such as the wall or the steps, or to float and wait for help to arrive. Without Helping Hands Seminole, none of this would have been possible. Our entire family extends our sincerest thanks, and we can now look forward to many summers of swimming and splashing with our little mermaid!

Yvonne is patient with the kids and professional. My 2 year old fell in a pool at a party and used the skills Yvonne taught him to float on his back until he caught his breath and then turned and grabbed the wall. She teaches skills that save lives and my newborn will take lessons with her as soon as he is old enough.
