Meet Sara
Sara Ahrendt
CERTIFIED ISR INSTRUCTOR
CERTIFIED RED CROSS SWIM AND WATER SAFETY INSTRUCTOR
It all started when Sara enrolled her then two-year-old daughter in ISR lessons. A bit skeptical at first, Sara quickly saw the impact ISR was making on Mia’s life. Watching her develop such strong aquatic skills at this young age was truly amazing — this inspired Sara to want to expand access to this amazing program for our Outer Banks community.
With as much access to water as we have here in the OBX, Sara knew how critical it was to have her child learn survival swimming skills. Supervision should always be the first line of defense, but it shouldn’t be your only strategy to keep your children safe.
Sara has over three decades of experience coaching water sports including swimming, sailing, windsurfing, and wing foiling. Safety is the priority in every one of her lessons; student confidence and skill development naturally follow.
