Meet Your Instructors

Every certified ISR Instructor undergoes 8 weeks of intensive and rigorous training, consisting of academic learning as well as hands on in-water training. Each Instructor is also required to go through a recertification process each year. All instructors must maintain active CPR and First Aid certification.
