WHAT YOUR CHILD WILL LEARN

Babies from 6-12 months and children 1-6 years of age learn how to use Infant Swimming Resource’s Self-Rescue™ skills in tandem with basic swimming skills.

TECHNIQUE & LESSONS

For the last 45 years, ISR’s hands-on instruction technique has been researched and developed to offer a proven system for safely teaching your child to enjoy the fun of swimming, while at the same time teaching life saving survival swimming skills. Unlike other programs, lessons are:

• Customized and taught privately, one-on-one by a certified ISR instructor

• Last for 10 minutes each day, Monday through Friday, for 4 to 6 weeks depending on age and ability of the child (infants: 4-5 weeks; children: 6 weeks or less).
  

• Emphasize health, ongoing program evaluations and parent education

• Provide your child with the competence and confidence to safely enjoy the water
  

 6-12 MONTHS OLD

Your child is gently introduced to the water by your instructor. As each child reacts differently, your instructor will work with your child to guide him through the lesson process and to build a level of trust and comfort in the water. Once this is established, your child will begin to learn how to Self-Rescue.    

ROLL-BACK-TO-FLOAT

Think of how your child learned to roll from stomach to back as a young baby. A child 6-12 months will learn:
To hold their breath underwater
To roll onto their back
To float unassisted, rest and breathe until help arrives
To perform these Self-Rescue skills first in a swim diaper, then while fully clothed
During ISR lessons, your instructor will place your child face down in the water and help him or her learn to roll to the back and float. Your child never remains face down for more than a few seconds, and your instructor is always right beside your child

 1-6 YEARS OLD

You've seen it before, your toddler walks right to the edge of the pool, ready to jump in, whether or not you are there to catch him. His confidence is beyond his skills. ISR training for children between 1 and 6 years of age uses their confidence to help them build competence and the skills to Self-Rescue.    

SWIM-FLOAT-SWIM

Children over 1 year learn the following sequence during ISR's Self-Rescue swimming lessons:

To hold their breath underwater
Swim with their head down
Roll onto their back to float, rest, and breathe

Roll back over to resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool, crawl out or be rescued by an adult
To perform these Self-Rescue skills first in a swim diaper, then while fully clothed

With these skills your child will be able to swim independently and learn to move at his or her own pace toward the safety of the side of the pool or the shores of a pond or lake.

Enroll your child in lessons.

Always remember there is no substitute for adult supervision.
