About
ISR with Oona offers ISR Self-Rescue lessons and REFRESHERS in a one-on-one format. Each lesson is tailored to the child’s ability and skill level every day, and lessons are customized to the developmental level of each child. ISR with Oona uses behavioral sciences, including sensorimotor learning, schedules of reinforcement, positive reinforcement, and operant conditioning, and is not a traditional swim lesson program.
• Ages: 0–6 years old
• Schedule: ISR Self-Rescue runs for 6 weeks with 10-minute lessons Monday–Friday; refresher lessons usually take about three weeks with 10-minute lessons Monday–Friday
The ISR Self-Rescue program teaches children how to survive if they reach the water alone, and refresher lessons help children to “refresh” the skills they have already learned. ISR with Oona serves the Bay Area, California, including Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, San Jose, Saratoga, Morgan Hill, and Hollister.
Oona Rose is an ISR instructor and the instructor for ISR with Oona. Oona joined the mission of “Not One More Child Drowns” and became an ISR instructor, and equipping children with the survival skills they need in and around water is her passion. Oona started her ISR journey in 2017 and, since becoming an instructor, has taught 449 students. She is originally from Salina, Kansas, moved to San Jose in 2002, made Morgan Hill her home in 2017, has two children of her own, and looks forward to teaching children in 2024.
One parent shared, “Oona Rose, is a wonderful instructor, always meeting my child with how he is showing up that day. She is creative, thoughtful, passionate, and a great communicator. I am very comfortable asking her questions about ISR in general, as well as my son's progress. She is a joy to be around.”
