My name is Kelly Reimel and I am a graduate from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sport & Fitness. I am a certified instructor in First Aid, CPR Infant, Child, Adult CPR through American Red Cross.
I am married with three children. I have been an Aquatic Director and Swim Coach for the Central Florida YMCA. I have taught hundreds of children swimming lessons and I have always wanted to become certified through ISR. I had a neighbor who’s 3 year old daughter Alyssa, drown in their family’s swimming pool. It was shortly after this that I became a Certified Infant Swimming Resource Instructor and to continue with the mission of “Not one more child drowns”.
“A child needs both to be hugged and unhugged. The hug lets her know she is valuable. The unhug lets her know that she is viable. If you’re always shoving your child away, they will cling to you for love. If you’re always holding them closer, they will cling to you for fear.” Billy Graham
