Testimonials
We had a wonderful experience with Amanda & Gentle Waves ISR! She was very patient while also pushing my son to be brave. She met him each session with kindness and she was wonderful to work with! My son went from screaming in the water to being cool, calm, and collected! He perfected his float and now loves to show it off!

We had two children complete ISR in summer of 2026. Their confidence is remarkable. They are confident in their float and problem solving skills to find their air if they go under. They love to swim and I love that they have the skills to self rescue to buy time until an adult can get to them if they were to slip in unplanned. They also have more confidence in water safety and understanding the rules around a pool. The gift of water safety is one of the best and most lifesaving gifts you can give your child! My children asked to go to “swim school” daily and still ask to go back! We are so thankful to have Amanda teach our children.
