Serving the greater Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington Area

Teaching your children how to save themselves if they reach the water alone, I provide comprehensive aquatic survival and swim lessons to children aged 6 months and up.

Compassionate and Effective Instruction for over 18 years

I have been an ISR instructor for over 18 years serving the Pacific Northwest as well as several seasons teaching in Austin, Texas. I have extensive experience in teaching children of all ages and abilities and have proudly taught over 7500 children these life saving skills. I am also a big kid myself and have a unique talent in relating to children, building trust while helping them become confident and competent in and around the water.

I came to ISR, like many, as an ISR parent, so I fully understand and appreciate the commitment to lessons that is required to participate in ISR and I am here to be as supportive as I can to ensure your child's success. My main goal as an ISR Instructor is to honor our mission of "Not One More Child Drowns" by giving your child and many others the skills needed to Self-Rescue® should they ever reach the water alone. I believe every child can benefit from these skills and will find ways to work with you to ensure you are able to participate.

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

Ms. Jolene Granly is the best swimming instructor. She gained trust from my daughter since the first week. She's very patient and firm on teaching. Her technique and style were doable and reliable. We love her.

Jolene Granly is the best ISR instructor. My children are confident enough to be in the pool, and they can survive if an accident happens. I recommended Jolene's swimming lesson to all my friends.
