Serving Central CT

SWIM. FLOAT. SURVIVE.

Accidents can happen in an instant, which is why it’s so important for your child to know how to survive, should they ever reach the water alone.

Using ISR's proven techniques, infants and young children can learn life saving swimming skills that will allow them to stay safe and confident in the water.

ISR with Krista Rasmussen

Welcome to ISR Swim with Krista, where your child's safety is my top priority!


Serving families in Central CT, I am dedicated to teaching your little ones essential water survival skills. I am a wife, a mom to two little boys and a registered nurse with a passion for helping children and keeping them safe.

I was born and raised in CT, but lived in NM for a year, where my oldest son was skilled in ISR. I fell in love with everything ISR and decided to bring ISR to central CT, where it is heavily needed. I am 1 of only 3 ISR instructors in CT and I am so excited to start offering these Self-Rescue skills to more children.

Whether you're looking to teach your baby as young as 6 months how to survive in the water or help toddlers and older children learn the essential swim-float-swim sequence for safety and fun, I am here to ensure your child becomes confident and safe in the water. "Not One More Child Drowns" is our Motto and I strive to uphold that mission through every lesson and every family I work with.

Let's work together towards a future where fewer families experience the tragedy of childhood drowning. My goal is for your little one to enjoy the water with confidence and that you can breathe easy knowing they have the skills they need to survive.

HOW IS ISR DIFFERENT?

Each ISR lesson is custom-tailored to your child, teaching them the self rescue swimming skills that are developmentally appropriate through one-on-one lessons.

IT'S PREVENTABLE!

Did you know that drowning is the leading cause of death in children under age 5? But it doesn't have to be! ISR teaches each student independent skills in the water so they can swim, float, and self-rescue - building the foundation for a lifetime of safe enjoyment of the water!

PARENT TESTIMONIALS

Veronica has been wonderful with my infant and toddler. She is very communicative about their daily situation (whether they're happy, tired and grumpy, hungry, etc) to ensure she tailors the lesson to their needs. After 2 weeks, my toddler is already starting to learn the starting skills to swim to the side and get on the steps of the pool and my infant is floating with very little support.

We are so happy with our ISR experience. Both of my children have become great swimmers and ISR helped boost their confidence and comfort in the water. ISR has given us, as parents, such peace of mind. Ms. Rachel was amazing!
