About Your ISR Instructor

My name is Emily Keefe and I am a certified Infant Swimming Resources Instructor. I completed my training in July 2021 under Master Instructor Natalia Caramellino. Natalia has been teaching ISR for over 12 years, and she traveled from her hometown of Rosario, Argentina to conduct my certification training. 

I have my bachelor’s degree in Business Management and Marketing and am a mother to 6-year-old twins and a 3-year-old son. After speaking with many friends who went through ISR lessons in other areas of the country, I had previously sought out ISR instruction for my children but found no one certified within 40 miles of my town. I quickly realized that there was a dire need for survival-style swim instructors in our area. 

I have always loved the water but I became passionate about teaching babies and toddlers this skillset after witnessing the amazing outcome in so many of my friend's ISR experiences. I absolutely love working with children and appreciate each and every one of their differences. Every child learns differently, and it is my job to determine what will make their ISR experiences the most successful AND enjoyable!

I am so thrilled to be starting a career doing something so impactful and cannot wait to meet you and your family poolside!
