What My Swim Parents Are Saying

“I wish everyone could get these lessons. Worth every penny. My 3 year old daughter loved it and now her and I feel more confident in the water.”

“Alura has been truly amazing with our baby girl; showing patience, genuine care towards her well being, and knowledge on what works with young tots. I highly recommend Hill Country ISR for any parent with infants or older who want to teach their littles how to survive if they are ever in a water accident.”

“Alura at Hill Country ISR is awesome! She is extremely engaged and such a great communicator. She taught my 15 month old an invaluable skill that makes her safer in the water. I highly recommend!”

“What a fantastic experience! Our little one loved swim lessons and was able to gain all the skills I was hoping for. He can save himself if he ever fell into water. And is such a good swimmer now at the end of session.:

“I highly recommend having your child take ISR lessons. This was definitely the best thing we could have done for our son. Our son will be 2 in a few months and he already knows how to float and survive in case of an accident. Alura is a great instructor and was very patient with our baby. We will definitely be back!!”

“We had an amazing experience with Alura, she is great and very patient with little ones. We feel confident that our girls would be able to apply their water skills when necessary. Thank you again Alura!”

“Alura was amazing! She was so patient and encouraging with our daughter (and with us)! I’d definitely come back to her for refresher lessons!”

“Ms. Alura did a great job teaching my kids self-rescue. They had been to ISR with a different instructor before, and while they learned, they had lost their fondness of the water. Ms Alura brought back the fun in swimming and my kids are always begging to go to the pool knowing they can swim and float and be safe.”

“Alura is simply amazing. She was wonderful with our 7-month old and with every kid we saw her with before and after our classes. She is very communicative, which was much appreciated. I wasn’t sure what to expect as far as results, but by the end of our lessons, I felt confident and relieved when I saw our son practice his new skills. I highly recommend Alura and these lessons!”

“Alura was amazing with my 2 year old. She was gentle with him and earned his trust quickly. The speed that was he able to learn was incredible. I’m so happy we spent the time and money to ensure that he can swim and float if he ever falls into a pool. I can’t recommend her program enough! Thank you Alura!”

“We had a great experience with Alura. I like her encouraging approach and now my son can now successfully float on his back. :) These classes gave him so much more confidence in the water. Highly recommend!”

“Ms. Alura did an amazing job teaching our 15 month old how to self-rescue float. We have a pool at home and wanted to build a solid foundation of water skills. ISR was the right choice for us. It is a big investment, in time and consistency, but we feel it's so worth it for the payoff. Our child went from having no water skills to performing all her float orientations fully clothed in 6 weeks. On top of that, a side benefit is that our child now has a healthy respect for the water. She will safely enter and exit at the steps as instructed. We don't have to chase her around the pool deck for fear she tries to run into the pool because she now asks the adults for permission. But she still loves the water! We felt there was a great balance of safety, skill appropriate challenges, and steady progression.”

“We are so happy that our toddler can now float! This gives us better peace of mind being around water with her. Ms. Alura was great at teaching survival skills and giving confidence throughout the lessons. Highly recommended!”


”We are grateful for Alura for all her work with our daughter. She went from having -0- floating skills to floating completely on her own and continues to want to practice at the pool (and she’s 1!) She is patient and caring and most of effective at teaching children potentially lifesaving skills!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Alura and her program. From the very first day, I trusted her completely with my 21-month-old daughter. Alura has an incredible intuition for exactly what each individual child needs, and it was amazing to witness the progress my daughter made with her. By the end of the program, my daughter was confidently floating and water-safe, which brings such peace of mind!

What stood out the most was how much my daughter looked forward to every session with Alura. Her gentle and kind approach created such a positive and nurturing environment, which made all the difference. Alura’s expertise and patience are truly remarkable, and we are so incredibly grateful for the impact she has had on our daughter’s safety and love for the water.”

“I highly recommend Alura for swim lessons! We completed the ISR course with my 22month old son and had a great experience. The course is a commitment, but it is worth it. My son is now confident and comfortable in the water. We love to swim as a family. We are so grateful that my son knows how to swim/ float and that we have the knowledge to teach water safety to our kids.”

“All three of our kids (5, 3, 7mo) attended Spicewood ISR with Miss Alura and we are BLOWN AWAY!!! Our older two were terrified of water, but just 6 weeks of lessons later, they were fighting over who got to swim first. They can successfully float and swim, searching for safety, thanks to this program! The kids love her kind and patient heart and we already miss seeing her smiling face daily. We will definitely be back for refresher courses in the future!”

“My son, who is 20 months old, completed 6 weeks of ISR with Alura this summer at her amazing facility. He now loves being in the water, practicing his float and turns. He was initially scared in the water but with Alura’s calmness, kindness, and encouraging teaching style she gave him the confidence that he was safe with her. By week 2 he was running into her arms for lesson to begin! I’m so in awe of his ability to be in water; unaided from any kind of floatation device , hold his breath underwater and go through the survival sequence Alura has taught and tested him through, both in swimwear and fully clothed in Winter attire (WITH SHOES ON!). I’m so grateful that our friend recommended her and I will be going back for maintenance sessions, and will also be taking our daughter once she is old enough! It’s the best investment as a parent, knowing our kids have the know-how to survive if any accidents were to happen. THANK YOU ALURA!!!!!! You 100% have my recommendation.”
