What will my Child Learn 

ISR’s unique results are achieved through fully customized, safe and effective, one-on-one lessons with only your child and the Instructor in the water. What your child will learn, and the way he or she will learn it, is what makes ISR so different from traditional swimming lessons. Always putting safety first, ISR emphasizes competence, which leads to confidence, and provides the foundation for a lifetime of enjoyment in and around the water.

What your child will learn depends on his or her age and developmental readiness, but in all cases, at minimum, your child will learn to roll onto his or her back to float, rest, breathe, and maintain this position until help arrives.

6 to 12 month olds Focuses on rolling from their tummy to their back, float, controlled breathing and maintain the float until pulled to safety.

Lessons for infants 6 to 15 months old Generally speaking, children ages 6 to15 months learn the ISR Self-Rescue skill of rolling onto their backs to float, rest, breathe and maintain this lifesaving position until help arrives.

Lessons for children 15 months to 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 shoreline.

Refresher lessons 

Are extremely important in 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.
