Erica has a true gift with children.

"We had the most incredible experience doing the second level of ISR training with Erica Bourgault at ISR Maine Coast this spring. Our daughter Elise has absolutely thrived under Erica’s guidance she’s more confident, capable, and in love with the water than ever before! Erica has a true gift with children. She was so helpful, communicative, and reassuring throughout the entire process, and she made Elise feel safe, supported, and truly special at every lesson. We’re beyond grateful for the skills Elise has gained and the positive, empowering environment Erica creates. We’ll absolutely continue seeing her for refreshers and will be enrolling our son with her as soon as he’s old enough. We can’t recommend Erica and her program highly enough!" - Erin L.

Patient and gentle.

“Erica is an incredible instructor who was so patient and gentle with our 1.5-year-old. They built a special bond in the pool, and we are so grateful she was there to help our girl build a strong foundation in the water!”

When we found Erica, we knew we had made the right decision.

“With a pool in our backyard, it was extremely important for us that our daughter learn essential survival skills. When we found Erica, we knew we had made the right decision. From the outset, her patient and kind demeanor immediately put us at ease. Erica displayed an incredible ability to adapt her teaching approach based on our daughter's daily needs and mood. Despite our initial concerns when our daughter screamed through the first week and a half, Erica's unwavering patience and compassionate guidance proved to be invaluable. Her agility in pivoting the plan while still ensuring progress was very impressive.

After those initial challenging days, a transformation occurred — our daughter began to look forward to each swimming lesson, eagerly talking about how much she loved swimming and Coach Erica. It became evident that Erica's dedication and tailored approach had not only instilled foundational swimming skills in our daughter but also sparked a genuine love for the water. We couldn't be more grateful for Erica's exceptional teaching, and we wholeheartedly recommend her as an ISR swim instructor.”
