ISR Swim School provides swimming lessons that teach your child to swim and survive in the water within weeks. You can observe a daily progress and amazing results are achieved in only weeks instead of going to swim lessons for years. We invite you to review the information on this ISR Swim School website. For an easier understanding of what your child can learn, also watch the videos. We are looking forward to teaching your child with aquatic self-rescue skills, the base for a life in the water full of fun, joy and confidence. |

Infants 6-12 months
Students who are crawling (generally 6-8 months) through about 12 months will learn survival floating. He or she will be taught to rotate from a facedown position in the water to a back float. The baby will be taught to rest and breathe on his or her back until help arrives. You can expect that the typical infant will attend 5 lessons per week for an average of four or five weeks to attain these skills.

Children 12 months to 6 years - A child who is walking or very close to walking (usually anytime after 12 months) will learn a swim-float-swim sequence. He or she will be taught to swim face down; roll over onto his or her back to float, rest and breathe; then flip over onto his or her stomach to continue swimming until he or she reaches safety. This swim-float-swim sequence can be repeated as many times as is necessary to reach safety. This skill set can be achieved with 5 lessons per week in an average of five to six weeks. |

After accomplishing these skills in a bathing suit, children will then practice their skills in summer clothing and then progress onto winter clothing. This additional work is critical to survival swimming because most children who find themselves in the water alone are fully clothed. |

If you or your babysitter, neighbor or grandparents have a backyard pool, lake, pond, canal or other water hazard, consider these skills mandatory for your child’s safety. Sometimes even the best precautions can end in tragedy. The last and most important line of defense against childhood drowning is teaching our infants and young children how to survive if they get into a body of water. If your child does find himself alone in the pool or body of water, their self rescue skills could save their life. |
|
Keep these guidelines in mind when choosing a swimming program: |
Question everything about the program, the instructor’s qualifications and what specific skills will be learned. |
Be sure your child will learn how to swim with head in the water, turn on his back to float, rest and breathe and then flip back over to a swim. The sequencing of skills is crucial to get your child to safety. |
Make sure all lessons are one-on-one. NEVER enroll in a program where the instructor must divide time in the water between several unskilled students. |
Be sure your instructor can thoroughly explain hyponatremia (water intoxication) to you. Ask what precautions are taken before and during the lesson to avoid this potentially dangerous situation.
|
Do not allow your child to be worked with for longer than 10 minutes. |
Do not enroll in any swimming program before your child is 6 months old and never enroll in a program that uses flotation devices. |
|
Finally, never believe that ANYONE is ever drown-proofed by any lessons or skill level. No one is ever drown-proofed and constant supervision in and around the water is the only sure way to prevent drowning. |

...it works and it's worth it. Water safety with skill, confidence and joy! A gift of a life time! |
