Swim-Float-Stay
Early Walkers
With swim-rollback-float lessons, your child can swim underwater until they need to breathe, roll to their back to rest, breathe, and float until rescued by an adult. This skill set takes about 6 weeks to accomplish.
Swim-Float-Swim
Solid Walkers
The swim-float-swim program teaches your child to swim underwater until they need to breathe, roll to their back for a few breaths until rested, then swim starting the sequence again until they reach the pool steps, side of the pool, or the shoreline. This skill set takes between 6-8 weeks to accomplish.
Maintenance Lessons
Maintain Learned Skills
These lessons are for children who have already completed initial ISR lessons. Maintenance lessons help students to maintain their skills and confidence. Maintenance lessons should be scheduled at the intervals recommended by the instructor, ranging from once or twice a week to once a month. Please contact your instructor directly to schedule ISR maintenance lessons.
Refresher Lessons
Helps former students as their bodies grow from Infant to Toddler to Young Child
These lessons are for children who have already completed initial ISR lessons and need to refresh their skills. Children grow and develop rapidly from infants to toddlers and young children. This development process represents improved strength, coordination, and a more finely tuned cognitive ability. In accordance with this growth, children enrolled in ISR return periodically to participate in Refresher Lessons. Each refresher session takes about 3 weeks.
One-on-One Instruction
Each student is taught one-on-one with your Certified ISR instructor. Each lesson is individualized to the child’s needs and abilities and each child is safely guided through the learning process.
After going through the ISR Self-Rescue® program, your child will have an excellent swimming foundation. They will have learned good breath control, head and body posture, and swim movement. Students go on to use their skills for learning stroke work and rotary breathing and because the little ones are competent, happy swimmers, families enjoy being in and around the water together.
