Swimming instructor

Meet Misty Douglas

Hi! I'm Misty and am a mom to 5 kids- all who swam, or currently swim, competitively. We are very active in the swim community, and if I'm not in my backyard pool teaching lessons, I'm likely on another pool deck around San Diego cheering my kids on! I love my job, love children, and love meeting many wonderful families in our community. I'm very passionate about water safety and instilling a lifelong love of the water in every child.

HOW IS ISR DIFFERENT?

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

Misty is such an amazing swim instructor. She is patient and calm, but gives directions in a way that creates results. We are so grateful for her.

Kate.

I am blown away by Misty! She is the perfect combination of positivity and love combined with helping push my daughter in each lesson just past her comfort level. I only wish I would have started these lessons with my older children when they were learning!
