Welcome to Jeanine Wilson's ISR Instruction in Evansville, Indiana

Hi, I'm Jeanine Wilson!

I've been teaching swim lessons for nearly 30 years, and helping children become safer and more confident in the water is truly my passion. As an ISR Instructor at the Deaconess Aquatic Center, I have the privilege of teaching life-saving self-rescue skills through individualized, one-on-one lessons tailored to each child's unique needs.

One of my favorite parts of teaching is watching a child gain confidence and achieve something they never thought they could do. Knowing that the skills they learn can help keep them safe makes every lesson meaningful.

When I'm not in the pool, you'll likely find me cheering on the Indianapolis Colts or spending time with family and friends.

I look forward to helping your child build confidence, learn essential water safety skills, and develop a lifelong comfort in and around the water!

FAQs

What other benefits does the ISR lesson experience provide students?

Every child is unique. However, many parents report that once their young children have mastered learning to swim, the resulting confidence in their abilities engenders a positive self-concept that is often demonstrated in other aspects of their personalities. There are also obvious health and other psychological gains.

Can you really teach a child who is not verbal how to swim?

Yes. Consider that children learn to sit, crawl and walk before they learn to speak. Because we teach through sensori-motor learning, verbal skills are not required for a child to acquire Self-Rescue skills. We are able to communicate with our students through touch and positive reinforcement while striving to set our students up for success every step of the way.

Do you have children that just can’t learn the skills?

No. Every child can learn. It is my job to find the best way to communicate the information so that it makes sense to the child. I set your child up to be successful every time you bring them to me. I start where they are and through consistent lessons, we see progress.

Is it the baby fat that makes them float?

Actually, the primary factor in a baby’s ability to float is the ability to take air into the lungs. To maintain this access to air, the child must adjust his/her posture. The difference in positioning for an adult can be inches. For a baby, this adjustment is reduced to centimeters. If a child’s body posture is just a few centimeters off, it can make the difference between the face being submerged or the child having access to air.
