Welcome to the follow-up. I'm Dr. Mona, your favorite online pediatrician, mom friend, and someone

whose toddler can already outswim her fully grown father. No shade to my husband. Okay, maybe a little.

Seriously, is there an ISR for adults asking for a friend? Last summer, my daughter did ISR,

which is infant swimming resource, and passed her float test like a champ. Last summer, my daughter did ISR, which is infant swimming resource,

and passed her float test like a champ. Now she's working on kicking and swim strokes,

and honestly, she's already got stronger water skills than most adults I know. But there are a

lot of misconceptions about ISR. I am a Florida pediatrician mom, and I am in the drowning capital of the

country, and I am very pro-ISR and very pro-survival swim lessons, very pro-water safety, due to the

drownings I see and hear about, not just in kids, but as adults. So today I'm sharing a powerful

clip from my full conversation with

Erica Wilson, ISR instructor and owner of C-Star ISR. We get into what makes ISR different from traditional

swim lessons, how it works, and why those viral videos of kids being tossed in the water

don't tell the whole story. Erica is not my daughter's ISR instructor,

but she is an incredible part of the ISR community and I want to share her valuable information.

If you have a pool, live near water, or just want your kid to have solid survival skills in water,

this episode is for you. And as a reminder, don't forget to download the episode, hit that subscribe button, share

the episode, and tag me on social media and leave a review.

All of those things helps more parents find the show and keep their kids safe, strong,

and maybe even a little faster than their dad in the deep end.

Let's dive in, pun very much intended.

Can you explain the main types of swim classes? So I know most of us know your traditional

swim class, which maybe we took as children, and then there is ISR.
