About the Instructor
My Story
I'm Evelyn Morales, and like many parents, I wanted to protect my child from water-related accidents. When my daughter was born, I discovered ISR, and it completely changed how I think about water safety.
After enrolling my daughter, I saw her confidence grow and her water skills flourish. ISR gives children the tools to stay safe and survive in an emergency—skills that last a lifetime.
I'm a certified ISR Instructor with over 12 years of experience teaching aquatic survival skills.
Working With Children on the Autism Spectrum
I hold an IBCCES Aquatics Autism Specialist certification, and I work with children across the spectrum—including non-verbal students.
Every child learns differently. Some need more time, a quieter pool, or a different approach to sound and touch. I adjust the pace, the environment, and the way I communicate to fit your child—never the other way around.
Before we begin, we'll talk about your child's sensory needs, triggers, and what helps them feel safe. You'll be part of the process from day one.
Why This Matters
Researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health found that autistic children are 160 times more likely to die from drowning than other children (Guan & Li, 2017).
For these families, swim lessons aren't optional. They're essential.
ISR is about more than swimming—it's about empowering families, building confidence, and creating safer communities.
My mission: to help your child thrive in and around water, giving you peace of mind.
I can't wait to welcome your family to my pool and start this life-changing journey!
