DID YOU KNOW THAT DROWNING IS THE SINGLE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN CHILDREN AGES 1 THROUGH 4?

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! 


DON'T LET A MOMENT STEAL A LIFETIME!

 Children are naturally curious and remarkably capable. That curiosity can place them at risk around water, but it can also be their greatest strength.

 At ISR Northshore, we teach children life-saving self-rescue skills designed for real-world aquatic emergencies, empowering them to survive if they ever find themselves in the water alone.

Learn how to protect your family in and around water by implementing proven layers of protection, because supervision alone is not enough.

ABOUT ISR NORTHSHORE

About ISR Northshore 


ISR Northshore is a proud provider of the Infant Swimming Resource® (ISR) program and has served the Northshore community since 2018.


As the first survival swimming program in both the Northshore and New Orleans regions, ISR Northshore has helped protect hundreds of families across a 250-mile radius by teaching children essential self-rescue skills that save lives.


With renewed passion and commitment, ISR Northshore is expanding its reach in 2026 to educate and empower even more families. Guided by our mission — “Not One More Child Drowns,” we remain unwavering in our dedication to preventing childhood drownings and promoting lifelong water safety.


Why Survival Swimming Matters


At ISR Northshore, we believe education and training save lives. Through ISR’s Self-Rescue® Program, children develop the skills, confidence, and competence needed to respond calmly and effectively in aquatic emergencies.


While pool barriers, supervision, and alarms are critical components of any comprehensive drowning prevention strategy, they are not enough on their own.


With over 4,000 drowning deaths each year, the need for an additional layer of protection is clear: the child’s ability to save themselves.

ISR’s core belief is that the child is the most vital element in any drowning prevention plan. 


Our students’ survival stories are living proof that when children are equipped with the right skills, they can self-rescue. Through survival swimming, children gain not only life-saving abilities, but also a foundation for a lifetime of safe, confident, and enjoyable experiences in and around water.

TESTIMONIALS

 We love Ms. Jennifer!! She is so patient and knowledgeable and gives me peace of mind since I feel confident in my daughters ability to save herself if needed 


"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 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 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."

Jennifer Laurent is WONDERFUL! She was patient, kind, and professional throughout our entire experience. Not only did my daughter look forward to swim lessons everyday, but she learned so much from Mrs. Jennifer! I feel safer than ever bringing my daughter around water! Best. Instructor. Ever. Corie P

 


"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." 

TODAY, OUR MISSION, "NOT ONE MORE CHILD DROWNS," IS THE FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING WE DO AND IS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND ISR NORTHSHORE.
