Saving Lives One Float at a Time: The Mission of ISR Instructor Lynette Porter

 In this episode of The Best Dam Podcast, Jill sits down with Lynette Porter, a certified Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) instructor based in Boulder City. With drowning being the leading cause of accidental death for children under four, Lynette’s mission is more than just teaching kids to swim—it’s about providing them with the vital skills to self-rescue.

Lynette breaks down the science of the "Swim-Float-Swim" method and explains why even a six-month-old can be trained to save their own life. From the "Five Layers of Protection" to the unique "clothed" graduation lessons, this episode is a must-listen for any parent, grandparent, or pool owner looking to ensure a safe and fun summer season.

DISCUSSION

1. The ISR Method: Lynette explains the "Swim-Float-Swim" sequence and how she teaches infants as young as six months to roll back and float to find air.
2. A Commitment to Safety: Why lessons are 10 minutes long, five days a week, and how that consistency builds life-saving muscle memory.
3. The Five Layers of Protection: A deep dive into pool safety, including high locks, alarms, fences, self-rescue skills, and the importance of a designated "Water Watcher."
4. Inclusivity in the Water: How Lynette adapts her behavioral teaching techniques for children with special needs, including Autism and Down Syndrome.
5. Real-World Simulation: The "clothed" lesson—why Lynette has students practice falling into the pool in summer and winter gear to prepare them for real-life accidents.
6. From High Skies to Life-Saving: Lynette shares her fascinating background, from being an MGM Grand Air flight attendant for movie stars to serving as a paramedic in the Las Vegas Valley.
