What will your child learn?

Initial Lessons

Infant Swimming Resource’s Self-Rescue survival swimming program is a 4-6 week course, scheduled Monday through Friday, for 10 minutes each day. With a focus on safe, customized, one-on-one lessons by certified Instructors, ISR’s survival swimming lessons emphasize health, ongoing program evaluations and parent education to deliver the most effective and safest results in the industry. Once the children are fully skilled they will practice ISR’s survival techniques fully clothed during lessons.

Age 6-12 months

Lessons for a 6-12 month old focus on teaching the child to roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe, and to be able to maintain this life-saving position until help arrives.

Age 1-6 years

Older, more mobile children will learn the full ISR Self-Rescue sequence of swimming until they need air, rotating onto the back to float, then rolling back over to continue swimming. ISR students are taught to repeat this sequence until they reach the safety of the steps, side of the pool, or the shoreline.

Refresher Lessons

Refresher lessons are extremely important in continuing and maintaining your child’s ISR Self-Rescue skill development. Children grow and develop rapidly from infants to toddlers and young children. This development process represents improved strength, coordination, and a more finely tuned cognitive ability. In accordance with this growth, children enrolled in ISR return periodically to participate in Refresher Lessons. These lessons are designed to fine-tune your child’s existing Self-Rescue skills to meet the demands of their growing bodies. It will allow them to make adjustments in their float and strengthen their swim. Refresher lessons for previous Swim-Float-Swim students will take approximately 2 weeks to complete. For previous Rollback-to-Float students, refresher lessons will likely take approximately 3-4 weeks.
