About ISR Lessons:
Babies who can crawl--generally 6 months to 12 months old--learn to hold their breath underwater, roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe. Children who can walk--generally one year of age and older -learn to hold their breath under water, swim with their head down and eyes open, roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe, and roll back over to resume swimming until
they reach the side of the pool and can crawl out. Each session is a 6 week course, scheduled 5 days per week, Monday through Friday, for 10 minutes each day. An important distinction between ISR and other programs is our emphasis on safety before, during and after lessons:
Prior to beginning lessons, your child’s unique medical history is reviewed by a team of medical professionals to identify any potential health issues that may affect your child’s lessons and safety. During lessons: ISR’s protocols have allowed for more than 7 million lessons to be safely delivered by Certified ISR Instructors. Parent education: Your child is not the only one learning during lessons. ISR’s program includes comprehensive parent education on aquatic safety and drowning prevention. Qualified Instructors: Your child will learn survival swimming skills from a well-trained and highly qualified Instructor using principles that have been researched, proven, and tested for more than 45 years. Each certified ISR instructor, completes a rigorous, 8-week in-water and academic training course and participates in a highly specialized annual recertification to maintain the highest level of safety and caliber of instruction.
