Drowning takes an average of 4,000 lives per year, totaling an average of 10 drownings per day. In addition to fatal drownings, the CDC estimated that approximately 9,000 victims were seen at ER's for non-fatal submersion injury.
The statistics are staggering, but the great news: drowning is completely preventable!
Children are curious, capable, and have an uncanny ability to overcome obstacles like pool fences; at ISR Northshore we take that ability and teach them skills to save themselves if they find themselves in the water alone.
Learn how to keep your family safe in and around water by implementing layers of protection!
ISR Northshore is a proud provider of the Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) program, dedicated to serving the Northshore community since 2018.
As the first survival swimming program in both the Northshore and New Orleans regions, ISR Northshore has taught hundreds of families across a 250-mile radius.
With renewed passion and commitment, ISR Northshore is focused on expanding its reach and educating even more families in 2025. Guided by our mission—“Not One More Child Drowns”—we are unwavering in our dedication to preventing childhood drownings and promoting water safety.
At ISR Northshore, we believe in the power of education and training to prevent tragic accidents. By incorporating ISR’s Self-Rescue Program, we provide children with the essential skills, confidence, and competence needed to respond to aquatic emergencies.
While pool barriers, supervision, and alarms are critical elements of a comprehensive drowning prevention strategy, traditional methods alone are insufficient.
The statistics—over 4,000 drowning deaths annually—underscore the need for an additional layer of protection: the child’s ability to save themselves.
ISR’s core belief is that the child is the most vital component of any drowning prevention plan. Our students’ survival stories stand as proof that children, when equipped with the right skills, can rescue themselves. Through our survival swimming program, children gain not only life-saving skills but also a foundation for a lifetime of safe and enjoyable water experiences.
ISR is the safest and most effective provider of survival swimming lessons worldwide. With nearly 60 years of experience and the highest standards in the industry, ISR is the world leader in survival swimming instruction for infants and children.
ISR Northshore offers individualized survival swimming instruction for infants and young children Ages 6 months - 6 years, teaching competence and confidence in the water.

"Jennifer is an amazing instructor! She has a very gentle and calm demeanor no matter how upset my child, or other children get. She's a great communicator and very professional. She takes a lot of pride in ensuring the safety and continued progress of her students. We couldn't be happier with having her as our ISR instructor and we will definitely recommend her to others."
"Jennifer Laurent is an amazingly attentive instructor. The amount of energy, patience, and devotion she puts into each individual child’s lessons is beyond fantastic! We will continue to renew our lessons/skills with her each and every year!"
"Jennifer Laurent is such an amazing instructor and the skills she’s taught my children are so invaluable! I can never praise her and ISR enough for these lifesaving techniques."
"Jennifer Laurent is absolutely amazing! You can tell how much she loves and cares for these babies that she is teaching on day #1. She makes me, as a parent, feel safe and I know that my daughter feels safe as well. She is so gentle and kind. My 10 month old daughter fussed a little the first 6 days after leaving my arms and getting in the pool but by day 7 she was clapping her hands and smiling! I get emotional thinking about what Jennifer and this program is doing for our daughter! I would recommend Jennifer to anybody."
"This is our fourth session with Mrs. Jen and I am so pleased. My child has formed a bond with her and I am confident in the lessons my child is receiving. She is so patient and kind. She provides feedback and valuable knowledge to help my child succeed. I recommend Mrs. Jen to everybody I can."
"Jennifer Laurent was an absolute blessing to have as a ISR instructor!"
"Mrs. Jennifer is the sweetest and so good with kids. My 3 year old is so excited to see her and practice his swimming! She is so patient and calm even with my 10 month old! We are thankful we found her!"
"I cannot say enough positive things about Jennifer Laurent. My daugher LOVES going to her ISR lessons. Jennifer is so patient and sweet and the reason she loves the water."
"Jennifer Laurent did so well with my son (2.5 years old) during his lessons. Without her willingness to adapt to his needs, he wouldn’t have be as successful in the course. Some days he would show up fussy, and Jennifer could make him laugh and smile, which in turn made him more comfortable and I believe he was able to retain more skills this way!"
"Jennifer Laurent was an excellent instructor. She worked with my son for his refresher class. She was patient with him and consistent with him which allowed him to attain the skills need to be safe in the water."
