Certified ISR Instructor,
Rachel Jessup
I was introduced to ISR when I nannied for a little two year old girl who was enrolled in the program. I had taught swim lessons through Red Cross for years, but was amazed by her progress in such a short period of time and the confidence it instilled, both in herself and her guardians. Not only did she enjoy being in the water, but she had the self-saving skills to match, too! When I moved to NW Montana and discovered there wasn’t an instructor in the area despite the enormous amount of open water we have, I knew I had to take the leap. I am so incredibly excited to offer these lessons to my little corner of the world and do my part to ensure that #notonemorechilddrowns. Here’s to a safer valley and a LOT more fish swimming in our waters :-)

Instructor, Myka Smith
I have always loved the water and my first job was as a lifeguard which led to teaching Red Cross swim lessons and water aerobics. I admittedly didn't know much about ISR until I put my youngest son in lessons at 15 months but watching his daily growth was absolutely amazing. Montana is a large state and yet there are so few instructors so I decided to take the plunge to get certified. I am a mom to 5 amazing children so I know firsthand how critical water safety and survival swimming is for little ones. I feel so blessed to be able to work with all your wonderful kids helping them find their float and swim like a fish!
