Lauren Haza, Certified ISR Self-Rescue™ Instructor

I first learned about ISR when I went to my niece's lessons in Philadelphia. It was amazing to see her skills and independence in the water.  I was pregnant with my son at the time, and knew I wanted my son to be ISR skilled as well. After moving back to my hometown of Columbus with my husband, I started searching for ISR lessons in our area. The closest instructor was on the north side of Indy, so I enrolled our son with Indy Infant Swimming Resource and commuted every day for lessons. The more I learned about ISR, the more I became fascinated by the process, and decided to become a certified ISR instructor so that I could bring more accessibility to ISR lessons in south central Indiana. Upon completion of my certification in spring of 2019, I have been teaching in host pools in Columbus, Bloomington, and Martinsville. Summer of 2020, I opened my own indoor location in Columbus for year round lessons. Prior to getting certified as an ISR instructor, I have enjoyed teaching dance and Olympic weightlifting to kids. In addition to ISR Certification, I received a B.S. in Dance from Indiana University with a minor in Exercise Science.
