Hi, I’m Chrystal! I live in Falling Waters, West Virginia with my husband and our children. I first learned about ISR (Infant Swimming Resource) in 2018, after our daughter Madilyn’s pool accident. I had no idea what it was, and looking back it is probably because of the lack of availability in our community.
After Madilyn's passing, I knew that I wanted to do something to prevent drowning locally. Through ISR, I have found a way to continue her legacy and educate both children and parents with these invaluable skills. I will be the first instructor in our area and I am looking forward to teaching you and your child.
My background includes a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Shepherd University. I also have my Master's Degree in Education:School Counseling. I have been an educator in Berkeley County, West Virginia since 2012, serving the community first as an elementary educator, and currently a high school counselor. I am trained in CPR, First Aid, and AED and in May of 2021, I spent six weeks completing my ISR Certification in Herndon, Virginia.
Infant Swimming Resource is a resource that is necessary for our community as it is an extremely effective drowning prevention program. I am thrilled to be part of a team that not only teaches survival skills, but also aquatic problem solving. I look forward to meeting and serving your family soon!
