Some time ago, I attended a funeral for a 5 year old who drowned while visiting family in Manahawkin, NJ. It was one of the most difficult things I've ever experienced, and the tragedy is that it didn't have to happen. Look at this amazing video of 11 month old Miles, and you may want to rethink the closing gift you'll give to your next client who buys a house with a pool.
The infant you just saw, little Miles, was trained by an ISR certified instructor. He's now four years old. Click here to see the rest of his story.

Safety, especially the safety of our youngest and most vulnerable, is something that we in the real estate and lending community can actively foster through our awareness of programs like Infant Swimming Resource.

Mike - Pool safety for small children is so important, and it is never too late to start swimming lessons. I love that you are posting this, and you could save a life. Good job.
Awesome Mike! What a great time of year to post this. Swimming pool weather is just around the corner and a little one can get away pretty quickly. It's always better to be prepared just in case.
OMG Mike!!!!!!!!!! INCREDIBLE. I have never witnessed anything like that. It brought me to tears! That is an awesome service and needs to made available to every family.
One of my biggest fears is that my child my drown. This more than brought me tears, it made me bawl. I cannot imagine losing a child, EVER. What a fabulous thing to teach children. WOW. Thanks Mike.
Like other said this is a great time of the year to post this. My little guys in the pictures are in these classes right now. This is Anthony's third year and William's second.
If anyone in Central Indiana needs infor on ISR please get hold of me. While she lives and has classes on the south side this year she is also teaching at Five Seasons (96th and Meridian)
Mike - Pool safety cannot be stressed too much! Fences and gates around pools, alarms on doors leading to pools - if you have children, these things are a must!
