“Liz was amazing! Gentle but firm with my 22 month old, friendly with the parents, easy going but intentional ensuring my little guy would learn how to float in 6 weeks, would highly recommend Liz with ISR Reno!”

“Liz is truly incredible. As a mom who has major anxiety and trauma due to drowning she made me feel so comfortable with every lesson. She explained every step to me on the last day on how my husband and I could help my kids on the days we aren’t with her. My 5 and 3 year old kids absolutely love her and felt very comfortable with her. We truly can’t wait to come back for a refresher lesson.”

“Liz is absolutely amazing! She taught my oldest at just 2 years old and my youngest at only 8 months. They are now 3 and 14 months, and both of them are so confident and comfortable in the water thanks to her. It has made enjoying any water activity so much fun. Liz is patient, caring, and incredibly skilled at making little ones feel safe while learning such an important life skill. It’s amazing to see how much they’ve learned and how much they enjoy swimming now. I can’t recommend Liz enough as she’s the best!”

“One of my best parenting wins was putting my kids in ISR with Liz! Liz 100% met my kids where they were and let them warm up on their own time. By the end they both (3y & 18m) were doing all the skills! Our summer has been so much more fun being able to swim WITH our babies. I was very weary at first thinking this approach was too fast for my slow to warm boy but she was so gentle and made it fun for him, they still ask regularly to swim with Ms. Liz.”

“We can’t say enough good things about Liz with ISR Reno! Both of my kids (6 and 4) had been in swim lessons since they were 6 months old, and despite years of classes, they still couldn’t swim on their own or know what to do if they fell into a pool. After just 6 weeks of lessons with Liz, the difference is incredible. They not only learned more than they ever had before, but they also gained the confidence and ability to float, swim, and save themselves if needed. Liz is patient, knowledgeable, and truly amazing at what she does. We’re so grateful for her and can’t recommend her enough!”

“Liz is absolutely incredible and I encourage anyone who has children to sign up for ISR! She opened ISR Reno right when my 3rd child was born and I knew immediately I wanted him to do this. My in-laws have a pool we are around several times a week so swim lessons are a non-negotiable for our family. The fact that my 10 month old can now save his own life around water is absolutely mind boggling and the best peace of mind a parent could ask for. We did traditional swim lessons with our older children and it took 2 years of weekly lessons to see half the progress that we saw in 6 weeks with ISR. Traditional swim lessons taught our children to be comfortable in the water, but ISR has given them the skills to be safe in the water.”

“Our experience with Liz and ISR Reno has been amazing. Our 7 year old from a young age refused to care about swim lessons and never learned a thing no matter how many years we tried. Being at the lake, a friend’s pool or near water in general was so stressful for us but since starting ISR our son can now float and save himself from sinking straight to the bottom. Liz has been so great with him even when he just wanted to play and wouldn’t focus. She was patient and persistent! We are so thankful for ISR and Liz. If you have been wondering about ISR Lessons for your child just do it!!”

“Our experience with Liz and ISR Reno was amazing!! Liz is such an awesome teacher and she was so wonderful with our son! It was so great watching our son improve every day and learn life saving skills. Liz was so friendly and great to work with! We have continued to see Liz after our program completed for maintenance lessons, and it has been great! I highly recommend Liz ❤️”

“We were really nervous about our twins starting ISR since they didn’t have much experience in the water yet and we weren’t sure how they would do. Meeting Liz and watching her with my children calmed all those nerves. My girls fell in love with her and by week two would argue over who got to get in the pool first with Ms Liz. Watching my children progress week by week was incredible. I often had tears in my eyes as some days would be more challenging than others. But I learned to have faith in Liz and the confidence in my children. I can’t explain how happy we are that we did the 6 week training. My girls can float no problem and are so comfortable in the water. Hopefully we will never need to use our training but in the event we do I am so glad we have an extra layer of water protection. If you’re thinking about signing up please do, it’s incredible to witness and your babies are stronger than you think!”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Liz Freeman as our ISR swim instructor. Earlier this year, she worked with our two little girls, who were two and four at the time, on infant safety rescue. From the very first lessons back in January, Liz built an incredible level of trust and rapport with them. They started out nervous and uncomfortable in the water, but in no time at all they turned into confident little fishies. By the end of the first week, they went from crying to literally jumping into the pool and looking forward to each lesson. All year long they’ve been talking about how much they love Miss Liz and how excited they are to continue. If you’re on the fence about trying infant safety rescue or maintenance lessons, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s absolutely worth the commitment for the confidence and peace of mind it gives both you and your kids. Liz is simply wonderful!”

“We cannot say enough incredible things about our experience with Liz at ISR Reno! As parents of two young children, we came into the infant survival swim program excited but nervous. What we left with was far beyond our expectations—two confident, capable, and water-safe kids thanks to Liz’s skills, patience, and passion. From day one, Liz made us feel completely at ease. She instantly connected with both of our children, even though they have totally different personalities. One was curious but hesitant and teething (10 months old), the other bold and energetic (2 yo)—but Liz tailored each lesson to fit their individual needs, creating a safe, supportive environment where they could both learn and grow. Watching our kids develop real, life-saving survival skills in just a few weeks was absolutely incredible. Liz is calm, consistent, and deeply knowledgeable. She strikes the perfect balance between gentle encouragement and firm guidance, and her ability to read and respond to each child’s emotions is nothing short of amazing. The peace of mind we now have as parents is priceless. Knowing that both of our children have the ability to roll back, float, and survive in the water if an accident were to occur is something we will forever be thankful for. These lessons are not just about swimming—they are about safety, confidence, and empowerment.”
