Trusted by Thousands of Arizona Families for Lifesaving Swim Instruction Since 2007

I'm Colleen Haas, an ISR instructor serving families in Gilbert and Queen Creek, Arizona since 2007. As a mom of four, I understand the responsibility that comes with having children around water and the importance of giving them the skills to be safe.

I was first introduced to ISR when my own twins were babies. With a pool in our backyard, I needed peace of mind. In just over a month, I watched them go from fearful to capable, able to float, breathe, and find safety. That experience changed everything for our family and ultimately led me to this work.

Since then, I've had the privilege of teaching thousands of children life-saving self-rescue skills. Since 2020, I've been recognized each year as the top-producing ISR instructor, teaching more children annually than any other instructor in the organization. While that recognition is meaningful, what matters most to me are the real lives impacted.

To date, I have had five students who were missing and later found alive floating on their backs, using the exact skills they learned in lessons.

My goal is simple: to help children become confident, capable swimmers and to give families the peace of mind that comes with it. I'm grateful for every family I get to work with and every child I have the opportunity to teach.

When I'm not in the water, I love spending time with my family playing games, cooking with my husband, and baking sourdough each week (something I've really come to take pride in). I also enjoy staying active and prioritizing my health, along with getting outside for a good hike.

I maintain current American Red Cross CPR and First Aid certification for adults, children, and infants, and I stay fully up to date with all ISR recertifications.

I look forward to meeting your family!
