Kristy Squire- ISR Master Instructor

I normally do not share stories of drowning because I never want it to seem like I am fear mongering but when I see a headline like this, if I don't share it, I am not doing my job.

Drowning is an EPIDEMIC! The number of drownings recently is heartbreaking and staggering. This is a very preventable tragedy and we all need to do better.

As parents it is not possible to watch a child every moment of every day and yet that is all it takes...a moment.

Be sure that ANYONE you know that has young children are taking these steps because it is going to take a village to fix this.

1) Have CONSTANT EYES ON when in or around the water. Because this can and will breakdown...

2) Have a pool barrier and fencing around any bodies of water- not just at home but at caregivers, grandparents homes, vacation rentals

3) Get children in high quality swimming lessons that teach self-rescue skills. It is NOT enough to be able to swim to a wall because what happens when the wall is out of reach or there isn't one?

4) Learn CPR and have every caregiver and grandparent that cares for your child do so as well

Many programs offer scholarships or sliding scales to make lessons affordable to any family. Help the babies and toddlers to not become a statistic. Please share these tips because you never know who you can help.

Hiiiiiii!!! I’ve noticed I have some new folks following my account so I thought it was time to share a little intro about me.

I grew up in Boca Raton, Florida. I went to school in Boca as the area was growing so I went to Verde, Whispering Pines, and Coral Sunset for elementary school. Logger’s Run for middle and Spanish River for high school. I have my BA and my MBA from Florida Atlantic University (go Owls!). I’ve been here for what feels like forever.

My hubby Mike and I love to travel. In our big blended family, we have two girls and a boy in college (UCF & FSU), a son who is a rising Senior at Park Vista, and our youngest girl a rising 8th grader at West Boynton Middle. I can’t forget to mention our beautiful furry family- Penny the Goldendoodle and the baby of the family, Maple the Bernedoodle.

I love coffee, food- almost any kind, being active, family time, live music, theatre, craft cocktails and naps!

My background was in sales and marketing before falling in LOVE with ISR when my first born did her lessons at 11 months old. She did her first session and I knew this was something I needed to do to help my community. I’ve been providing lessons from Boynton Beach to Boca Raton for over 19 years, have taught thousands of our local resident’s little ones, and trained over 40 Instructors thus far for ISR.

Thank you for following my page! I love sharing my incredible students and their progress with you. I promise, seeing their amazing progress never gets old. My next session with availability starts 8/17.

I love what I do, it never feels like work! I think it shows...do you?

Summer is such a great time for swimming but did you know that great swimmers are also made in the fall, winter, and spring? If your child didn’t get into lessons yet- it is not too late. Please reach out to learn what ISR can do to help your family enjoy the water more.
