On March 2008, I received an email from an ISR Instructor, Wandy Blanco, that she was going to start teaching ISR lessons in Guaynabo. From that moment, I fell in love with the program. At that time, we had built a pool in our home, so the safety of my children was very important to me. Although very important, we gave up the idea of putting them in classes because of the complexity of our daily life. But on January 18, 2010 my life changed.
In my home we have several security measures; a magnet that weighs 300 lbs. at the door, a door alarm and a fence around the pool.
Unfortunately, that day everything failed. Even the most cautious person can go through something like this. I found my little girl of 2 years floating, anoxic, almost lifeless in my pool. The rest I don’t need to describe. The important thing is that Paula did not suffer any brain damage, did not aspirate any water, and survived. Immediately, both my children began ISR lessons with Wandy.
I promised then that, within what was humanly in my power, I will prevent another parent and another child from experiencing our nightmare. Not a day goes by that I do not see my daughter's face in the water. However, it is extremely rewarding every time I see a parent watches with happiness, as his/her child is in complete control of his body and able to enjoy the water, but more importantly, to survive in the water. Thank you for taking the time to provide your child the tools he/she needs.
I thought this would not happen to me. Don’t you do the same!
With love,
