Some of the steps to take before lessons begin...

  1. Initial Clearance and Online Registration

    -Book a spot on Mrs. Aly's scheduling website. This is done either by the family if there is a spot available or because Mrs. Aly contacted you from the waitlist to fill a spot.


    - Complete initial clearance through the national ISR office online.


    - Fill out registration forms and pay the $105 fee using the unique URL provided. For returning students the fee will be only $40 if it has been 6 months or more from your previous registration.

  2. Approval and Start of Lessons


    - Wait for confirmation from ISR. Upon approval, your child is cleared to begin lessons.

    -Read ISR Parent handbook before beginning lessons.

  3. Pre-Lesson Communication


    - Before lessons, get an email from Mrs. Aly with directions, BUDS sheets, ISR Policies, and a welcome letter with tips.

  4. Lessons Begin

-Be ready to see all the amazing things your kiddo is capable of and watch them become an aquatic problem solver!

FAQs
Do you teach 4 or 5 days a week? I see ISR instructors doing both now.
ISR rolled out the "new" Flex Plan in the Fall of 2025. This has given instructors (and families) more flexibility by allowing the lesson structure change to a possible 4 day week verses the previous 5 day/week structure. Some instructors have switched to the Flex Plan while other have decided to continue to be 5 days a week. I will be using the Flex Plan in 2025 and teaching Monday-Thursday. I plan to use Fridays on an as needed basis for makeup days or possible maintenance days. We still anticipate children needing *on average* approximately 6 weeks to become skilled. That will be extended or shortened based on each individual's needs.
Do you travel to individuals homes and teach lessons?
At this time, no. The best way for me to accommodate as many families as possible is to have families come to my location.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes! At this time Im happy to offer first responders (police, fire, EMT), military (active duty and retired), and teachers a 10% discount!
Do you teach other lessons other than ISR?
No, at this time I only offer ISR structured lessons. I do not teach strokes or any time of lesson "beyond" ISR skills. There are swim teams offered at the FAST facility and at Jervey Gantt but I am not affiliated with either organization so you will have to reach out to them directly.
