Welcome to RLS Swim Academy
At RLS Swim Academy (formerly ISR Sartell Swim), our mission is simple yet profound: to equip children with the life-saving skills they need to stay safe in and around water. Teaching to prevent drowning, one child at a time.
Located in the heart of Sartell, MN, we proudly serve the community we call home.
Thank you for considering us for your child’s swimming journey—together, we can impact water safety for local families.
Meet Your Instructor
I’m Alyssa Mohs, Founder/CEO and Certified ISR Instructor at RLS Swim Academy. As a mother of four, I know firsthand the importance of keeping children safe, especially around water. After learning that drowning is the leading cause of death in children ages 1-4, water safety & swimming skills were a priority for our family early on. However, following many years of traditional swimming lessons, I was looking for more—I wanted my children to have the skills to survive if they ever encountered water unexpectedly, to be able to find air independently, and an exit, if necessary.
Infant Swimming Resource® (ISR) is a globally recognized program that teaches infants and young children survival swimming skills. After years of patiently waiting for a Certified ISR® Instructor to offer these lessons in our area, I decided to become one myself.
Education & Experience
In addition to my Certification as an ISR Instructor, I am also Basic Life Support, CPR and First Aid Certified. I hold a master’s degree in health administration and am a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP). These qualifications, paired with my experience both as an instructor and as a mother of four, shape how lessons are offered at RLS Swim Academy. It’s not just about teaching kids’ survival swimming skills—it’s about creating a caring, safe, high-quality environment where they can learn life-saving skills.
Our Approach
At RLS Swim Academy, we focus on survival first. From day one, each child receives one-on-one instruction designed to help them adapt safely & confidently to different encountered water scenarios. Our lessons are short, ensuring every minute is used effectively and providing children with focused, personalized time in the pool.

Commitment to Community
Because Sartell is my hometown, I’m dedicated to nurturing a supportive, educational space where every family feels welcome. By fostering this sense of community, we create a place where children learn to swim and develop respect for water and an understanding of its potential dangers.
Swim Education Philosophy
We offer a variety of courses, guiding children from their first splashes to advanced swimming skills. Swimming is more than an activity—it’s a crucial survival tool. Investing in your child’s ability to navigate water safely, find air, and locate an exit is priceless. Our specialized, focused lessons build the foundation for a lifetime of water safety and enjoyment.
