Abby Markham, ISR Instructor

I teach private, one-on-one survival swimming lessons for children ages 6 months to 6 years in Montclair (summer) and Dumfries, VA (school year). Lessons are designed to give children life-saving water skills while building confidence and independence in a safe, nurturing environment. Each lesson is personalized to your child’s age, abilities, and comfort level, and consistency is key to success. Watching children gain the ability to safely navigate the water—and seeing the pride and confidence on their faces—is what makes my work so rewarding.

Each ISR lesson is custom-tailored to your child, teaching them the self rescue swimming skills that are developmentally appropriate through one-on-one lessons.

IT'S
PREVENTABLE!

Did you know that drowning is the leading cause of death in children under age 5? But it doesn't have to be! ISR teaches each student independent skills in the water so they can swim, float, and self-rescue - building the foundation for a lifetime of safe enjoyment of the water!

PARENT TESTIMONIALS

I highly recommend ISR swim lessons! Abby is amazing. My 9 month old did lessons and he can float/save himself if he fell in. My 5 year old did lessons with her and was swimming like a fish in a few weeks!

Ismael has always loved the water and never feared jumping in, but he had no awareness of the dangers. Enrolling him in ISR was the best decision we could have made. After 11 weeks, he graduated! Now, not only does he love swimming, but we also have peace of mind knowing he can float, breathe, and keep himself safe. Autism doesn’t limit his abilities—it just makes his victories even more meaningful. One day, after just 4 weeks of lessons, he accidentally walked straight into the pool. To my amazement, he turned, swam to the wall, and reached it before I could even grab him—he rescued himself! ISR has been such a gift for our family, giving Ismael both joy and independence in the water. Thank you Mrs. Abby!!
