Lessons
ISR Lessons are 5 days a week, Monday through Friday. Each class will be approximately 10 minutes long with just one child and their instructor in the water. Much is accomplished in a short but very intense private lesson. Your child will have the same 10 - minute time slot each day. You can expect your child to be skilled in an average of 6 weeks. Fewer or additional weeks may be needed depending on your child's needs.

What Your child will 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.
6 to 12 Months - not quite walking yet
Generally speaking, children ages 6 months to 1 year learn the ISR Self-Rescue® skill of rolling onto their backs to float, rest and breathe. They learn to maintain this position until help arrives. After they have learned to perform these skills independently, all children then practice these skills fully clothed.
1 Year and Older - Steady Walkers
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 the shoreline.
Because the majority of drowning accidents that occur when a child is fully clothed, your child will practice their new survival skills fully clothed.
Continued Education
Maintenance Lessons
After completing their ISR Self-Rescue skillset, maintenance lessons help students to maintain their skills and confidence throughout the year and can indicate readiness for skill advancement. They are single-day lessons that should be scheduled at intervals recommended by the instructor, ranging from a few times per week to once a month.
Refresher Lessons
After completing their initial ISR Self-Rescue skillset, refresher lessons are recommended every three to six months and are scheduled for two weeks, five days per week. As children grow, their skills will need to be adjusted to their longer and heavier bodies. Refreshers are highly recommended to refine their skills as they’ve most likely hit developmental milestones since the last time they’ve been in lessons.
Intro to Strokes
An introduction to strokes will also be introduced when your child shows signs that they are developmentally ready.
