Welcome to SoCal ISR San Diego with Allyson Schlarb

I began my journey as an ISR swim mom in 2020, when my oldest daughter was just one year old—she’s now seven! Watching her independently learn such a critical life skill at such a young age was truly incredible. She learned how to fall into the water, roll onto her back, float calmly, and rest until help arrived. Witnessing that moment was life-changing and sparked something deep within me. I knew then that I wanted to become an instructor and help other children learn the same life-saving skills my daughter had mastered.

Since then, my second daughter—now four—began swimming at just two years old and can confidently navigate all types of water with her Swim-Float-Swim skills. Over the past four summers, I’ve had the privilege of teaching more than 120 students, helping them develop confidence, independence, and safety in the water.

As a Certified ISR Instructor, my mission is to bring life-saving swim skills to families in my community—creating safer, stronger, and more confident swimmers, one child at a time.
