Our family loved ISR and instructor Audrey Harrer. I can’t stress enough how important and practical these lessons are for children. It’s life saving! I decided on ISR and Audrey based on another parent’s experience with her son who has now been with Audrey almost 4 years. Our expectations were already high going into this. But guess what? Audrey exceeded our expectations! All of the family - parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles are all impressed. We love Audrey and will forever be grateful for the skills she’s given our grandson.

My son started ISR lessons with Audrey when he was nine months old and it has been one of the best decisions ever. Due to his love of all things water and fearless nature equipping him to safely enjoy the pool and ocean was a must. Audrey is one of a kind, her attention to every aspect of water safety and gentle teaching style is priceless. She has given him the skills he needs to safely explore and grow in water, from life saving skills in the pool or at the beach to surfing and introducing him to various swimming styles has made him an incredibly safe and versatile waterman. She continues to challenge him while also keeping it fun and fresh. Do not hesitate, if you are lucky enough to secure her as your child’s water coach do it now.

My daughter has been with Audrey since she was just one year old, and I can say without hesitation that Audrey is the best infant swim instructor on Oʻahu. Because of pool access, we briefly transitioned to other teachers over the years, and that experience only confirmed what I already knew: Audrey is in a class of her own. From the very beginning, Audrey created a safe, supportive, and highly effective learning environment. She combines incredible patience with deep expertise, always tailoring her approach to each child. Under her instruction, my daughter developed not only life-saving survival swim skills, but also a genuine love of the water. The benefits of starting early with Audrey have been enormous. Consistent swim instruction has given my daughter confidence, independence, and body awareness that extend far beyond the pool. She has learned discipline, focus, and how to push through challenges, skills that show up in school, in sports, and in everyday life. The consistency has also reinforced safety: my daughter knows instinctively how to handle herself in and around water, which brings our family immeasurable peace of mind. We have also seen collateral benefits in her social and emotional growth. Audrey’s nurturing but structured style has taught my daughter resilience, trust in her own abilities, and comfort with taking healthy risks. She approaches new environments and challenges with far more confidence than many of her peers, and I attribute much of that to the foundation she built with Audrey in the pool. ISR Oahu is lucky to have someone as dedicated and talented as Audrey leading the way. She has had a lasting, positive impact on my daughter’s development, safety, and happiness. If you are looking for the very best infant swim instruction on the island, look no further, Audrey is it.

Kalikonāulu started ISR lessons with Audrey when he was just six months old, and it has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. Growing up on an island surrounded by water, ensuring he had the skills to safely enjoy the ocean and pools was a top priority. From the start, Audrey’s patience and gentle yet highly attentive approach made all the difference. Her dedication to each child's safety is unmatched—she takes the time to ensure every movement is learned correctly, never rushing the process. Her focus on water safety, combined with her ability to make learning fun, has given Kalikonāulu the confidence and skills to thrive in the water. Whether it’s essential lifesaving techniques in the pool, floating in the ocean, or preparing for future surfing adventures, she continues to challenge him in the best ways while always making sure he is safe and comfortable. We are so grateful for the foundation she has given him, and we can’t recommend her enough. We are continuing maintenance lessons. If you have the opportunity to work with Audrey, don’t hesitate—she’s truly one of a kind.

ISR Oahu is such an amazing program. Our Daughter was 11 months when we started, and by the time we finished she got her float - so we moved on to learning a 4 second swim. It gives me so much more peace of mind when we’re around the water - that she has these skills. Most people are surprised to hear and see what she can do as they don’t attempt to work on swimming with their kids until around 5 years. This program has redefined what’s possible in our little ones, for me. Audrey was so good with my baby girl. I will say she did cry for the first 2 1/2 weeks of the program, but Audrey remained calm and explained everything she was doing which helped my baby and me remain calm. Then once she got over the uncomfortable - I could tell she started enjoying her lessons!
