Mindy Odell grew up racing every summer on a competitive swim team and when she became a mom, she wanted to teach her daughter to swim too. Mindy found ISR while searching for the best techniques to teach a child how to swim and decided to get certified when she discovered that there were no ISR certified instructors in Shasta County.

​

Mindy loves coaching and is passionate about making a difference in the lives of her students and her community. As someone who has grown up in the North State, she is excited to be serving the families in this amazing community. Please spread the word and join her mission: Not one more child drowns in Shasta County!

Kari grew up in the Redding area and loves the recreational opportunities here. With the hot climate in Northern California, swimming was always a large part of her life. Having a toddler with no swimming skills and being a pool owner created many fears for her. As a parent, she wanted to do everything in her power to provide the safest environment for her son so she enrolled him in ISR lessons. She was so impressed by the self-rescue skills that her son was able to gain through ISR that she decided that she wanted to be a part of this amazing program too. Kari has joined the cause of "Not One More Child Drowns" and will help even more children in her community have access to quality swim lessons! She is excited to be able to empower children with the skills necessary to safely enjoy the water!
