Testimonials
For ISR mom Erin, ISR Certified Instructor Lisa Beers’ instruction proved invaluable when her son, Michael, wandered to a nearby canal. ISR Self-Rescue™ lessons combined with Erin’s critical choice to check the water first saved Michael. Read the testimonial Erin shared earlier this month to learn more about her lifesaving ISR experience. Good afternoon, I want to start off by telling you how grateful we are for having Lisa Beers in our life as our ISR instructor and the amazing ISR life saving skills she taught our son Michael. On January 3, 2013, I was participating in a mommy boot camp class at a local park here in Wellington, FL. During the class, which takes place in an open soccer field, one of the other moms volunteered to watch Michael, my 15 month old, and a few other babies while I went for a short jog. I was gone for no more than 2 minutes, and on my return I quickly noticed Michael was not where he should be. I instantly panicked and began looking all over for Michael. My heart just about stopped when I noticed the water rippling in a canal about twenty yards away. I ran over as fast as possible, fearing the worst, and pleading to let him be okay. What I saw was absolutely amazing. My 15 month little guy was floating in the middle of the canal. Doing EXACTLY what he was trained to do. He SAVED himself! I dove in, swam out and grabbed him. He was OKAY, shaken up of course and freezing as the water was quite cold, but he was PERFECT and ALIVE! I cannot put into words how deeply appreciative we are for the Lisa and our ISR classes and her patience with Michael. We are forever indebted to the ISR program!
After four years of trying, Lori and I were blessed with the most beautiful gift one could ever imagine, Skylar. When we found out that we were pregnant, we were so overfilled with joyous emotion that we did not know what to do with ourselves.
Skylar is the single most important thing to both Lori and I, with no exception. We immediately went into protective mode. One of our utmost concerns was the safety of our little gift in and around water. Although hesitant at first, I agreed to give it a shot. It is then we realized that we were blessed with another gift, you. I don't know if you realize this but you have become a hero to us. It may sound silly but you have given our daughter knowledge that she will have for a lifetime. God forbid she ever has to use it, I know that our daughter will have a strong chance at survival in the case of an incident(God forbid.) We are truly amazed at the progress that she has made with your guidance. I can honestly say that I am in constant awe of what I see and although it is hard on my heart, I know that what you are teaching her is more valuable than many other things that she will ever learn.Lisa, Lori and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our heart. You have absolutely gone above and beyond with Skylar and we want you to know that we appreciate you. If there is ever anything that we can do for you,although we can never repay you, we are here for you.We will be seeing you for refresher and swim float swim classes.We look forward to working with you in the future. I hope that others realize the importance of ISR and your ability to go above and beyond with what you do. Thank you for being such a great teacher to Skylar! |
