We would like to thank Summer Sanders and senior producer Brian O'Keefe, for their professionalism and willingness to address this topic in such a way that it will doubtlessly save little lives. It was very encouraging when Summer put on her suit and got in the water to see first-hand what an ISR student can do in the water both to rollback and float and to perform the swim-float-swim sequence while fully clothed. As a mother of two small children and being around water as much as their family is, Summer indicated how valuable these skills are. The entire crew including the underwater and surface camera man Blake Hottle and sound man Scott Osterman were an absolute pleasure to work with. We thought it might be of interest to you to see some of the "behind the scenes" pictures and some of the families and children who participated in the taping but were not shown in the final piece. We would like to thank them and the ISR Instructors who participated, Caroline Espy, Holly Nelson, Tracy Garlanger, Annette Goldman, Colleen Haas and Krista Raimondi who was in-water during the taping. We would like to thank Chelsea Bryan for sharing her Class I survival story about her son who, after only five lessons, saved himself from drowning in a hot tub. Thanks also to Debbie Smith for her continued support of ISR for 15 years. All five of her children are former ISR students and her twins are currently in ISR lessons. She graciously hosted the entire event and allowed us to utilize her home pool for the Good Morning America shoot. Finally this... we would like to thank ABC for including the ISR message of Constant Eyes On (CEO) supervision and the need for using a consistent bathing suit in color and type on a child while at the beach and other outside the home aquatic activities.
