I took both of my boys to Lori Dowe in the summer 2021. My oldest had taken previous swim lessons and was some what familiar but I wanted him to be more confident and safe in the water. My youngest was scared of water and wouldn’t get in unless we were holding him. After completing the ISR lessons my kids reflected whole new level of confidence. It gave me reassurance and peace of mind to know my kids knew what to do in any scenario. Even thought they’re still both great swimmers, I still take them in for maintenance lessons because (1) they ADORE Mrs. Lori and (2) just to refresh their memories of core lessons. I put my trust in a complete stranger who ended up exceeding our expectations and became part of our family. If you love and care for my children, we love you! Thanks Lori for being the best swimming coach our boys could ever have! You’re one of a kind!

We are so thankful for Lori and everything she has done for our son! When he first started lessons, he did not like water touching his ears or neck. She was so patient and compassionate with him. By the end of our lessons he was jumping in and ready to confidently swim on his own! It was incredible to see the transformation and confidence that our son gained from lessons with Lori. She explains everything so well and is very knowledgeable. You can easily tell how passionate she is about ISR and will do everything to help your child be safe and successful. She also treats each child like her own and is so warm and loving. Our son gained confidence to swim in the pool and we gained the confidence to know he is safe in the water. We cannot recommend Lori enough!

I have twin 18 month Olds and a pool in our backyard. I was interested in making sure we had an extra layer of protection from day 1. And lori gave me that relief, after just a few weeks, my babes were swimming, floating, jumping in the pool and practicing safety protocols. I felt so relieved knowing that they know what to do. I've heard countless stories of Littles drowning and I just can't imagine that for us. I will be continuing classes because I'm just so excited to see what else they can do. Thank you ISR, THANK YOU LORI!

Dear Lori,
Here is what your swim families had to say about their ISR experience with you:

Mrs. Lori Dowe has been an absolute blessing with my son. He loves water and has no fear of it. By the end of week 1, my son did an independent float for over 10 seconds. It is so incredible to watch my son learn these life saving skills and Lori is so intentional to count out loud the seconds he's holding his breathe and explain everything she's doing and what she's looking for so I can look for the small improvements also. An absolute blessing.

Thank you for all you do to help the families in your area!
Sincerely,
ISR Executive Team

We are pleased to share with you comments from your swim families received on the Parent Survey. Here is what your swim families had to say about their ISR experience with you:

We came back for a refresher and Mrs Lori helped Ethan remember all his skills and feel confident in water again. Lori Dowe is amazing!! This is our second summer with her and she continues to make our experience with ISR amazing! She is so patient and loving in her instruction. We could not have hand picked a better instructor for our son!

Lori Dowe is an amazing instructor! I couldn’t possibly be happier with everything about our whole experience. She has a great setup at her pool, her schedule flows wonderfully, I felt so heard and respected, and my child absolutely excelled with her instruction. She is kind, professional, and incredibly dedicated to her students. She is welcoming and so smart, and I love how she explained every little thing about the lessons and shared her knowledge of the process of children learning these skills. I felt very included during lessons and she always has an excellent answer to any questions we had. She’s efficient, she’s very sweet, and I can’t wait for the next set of lessons for my child 🙂 Hayley M

I love these lessons. My Son just hit 13 months and within a week he was already floating. He is graduating this week which will make him swimming for a total of 3 weeks. In only 3 weeks he can do so much. He was a quick learner but he wouldn’t have done it without his instructor. Christina

Lori Dowe is amazing! My son has made tremendous progress in only 3 weeks!!! H. H.

Lori is amazing and so great with my son. She’s very patient and makes sure to communicate everything she is doing. I am so glad that my son is learning the skills he needs to save his life if he were to ever fall into the water. Tierney T

We love Mrs. Lori Dowe!

We love Lori Dowe and are so happy to be back with her for a second summer! She is kind and beyond patient. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and truly cares about each of her students and their families. She makes us feel so comfortable and always explains exactly what she is doing and why she is doing it. Lori is truly the best!! Katie G.

Thank you for all you do to help the families in your area!

Lori Dowe is amazing! She's so experienced and patient with the kiddos! It was amazing to see our baby learn to float so quickly! Thank you Ms Lori!!!!

My son has been taking survival "swim" lessons with Lori since he was 6 months old. She is absolutely incredible and makes sure to include the parents so we know what she's looking for. He's now 15 months and about to start swimming lessons to self rescue. It's an amazing thing that they're doing and I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a safe place for their children to learn how to be safe in the water

I can't recommend ISR Florida Aquatics enough! We worked with Ms. Lori and, most importantly, she has taught my children the survival skills that are SO crucial for living in Florida with a pool, but also, she manages to make it a fun experience and had my kids begging to go back to swim with her! She is patient, kind, and nurturing as well as very knowledgeable and efficient. We are lifelong customers of hers!

We have been throughly please and so impressed by Ms. Lori’s instruction with our daughter Ivy! After 4 weeks, we have a very confident 2&1/2 year old girl who is ready to take on any pool! Ms. Lori has been so patient and informative with each lesson. She is a wealth of information and we have SO enjoyed this swimming experience! We cannot wait to start again with baby no. 2 come next summer! Thank you Ms. Lori for everything… giving our sweet girl confidence and independence with survival swimming… but also giving us the tools we need to help her succeed!

This was our daughter's refresher course for after winter break. While our daughter had to rebuild her confidence, Ms. Lori Dowe was extremely attentive to our daughters needs and knew exactly how to help her overcome her hesitation. We even had an instance where our daughter fell in a friends pool and she knew exactly what to do without panicking! We are forever grateful for Lori and her knowledge and expertise in all areas of healthy swim environments, not only teaching our daughter safe swim, but helping us as parents be confident and knowledgeable within our daughters skill set! We are forever grateful for Lori Dowe   . Meagan M

Instructor Lori Dowe is amazing. Our daughter has fallen in love with her which has just reaffirmed that we have made the right decision. She works so compassionately with our daughter ensuring she knows she is always there to help and keep her safe. We would highly recommend Miss Lori to anyone we know looking for lessons and would most definitely use her again for any future children.

Lori Dowe has been great with both of my children. I appreciated her taking the time to have me in the pool to show me how to practice skills with my kiddos. Yairí Lori Dowe is an amazing instructor both of my children (1&3) are always excited to she her and swim. She is extremely patient with my children (and always makes sure their safety is at the utmost importance. Lori is always reassuring them that they are safe and that she will not let anything happen to them. I would recommend her for anyone looking to enroll their children in lessons.  Brittany
