What Your Child Will Learn...

ROLL-BACK-TO-FLOAT: Ages 6-12 Months
(Infants who are able to sit up independently are developmentally ready to begin lessons)
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 roll-back-to-float and…
  •  To hold their breath underwater
  •  To roll onto their back to float unassisted, rest and breathe until help arrives
  •  To perform ISR's Self-Rescue skills first in a swim diaper, then while fully clothed
SWIM-FLOAT-SWIM: Ages 1-6 Years
(Once your child is walking, they are developmentally ready to learn the SFS sequence)
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 them. Their confidence is beyond their skills. ISR training for children between 1 and 6 years of age uses their confidence to help them build competence and the skills for survival.
  • To hold their breath underwater
  • To SWIM with their head down
  • Roll onto their back to float, rest, and breathe then flip back over to resume swimming. 
  • To perform these survival swimming skills first in a swim suit, then while fully clothed. With ISR's Self-Rescue skills your child will be able to swim independently and learn to move at their own pace toward the safety of the side of the pool or the shores of a pond or lake.
**All NEW Students attend lessons Monday-Friday for approximately 6 weeks (Maximum 10 minute lesson/day)
