Every child is unique. Our individualized, private ISR lessons are tailored to your child's unique needs, pace, and personality. We provide focused attention on your child, helping them learn self-rescue skills step-by-step while building confidence as they go!
Refreshers for Returning Swimmers
Children grow and develop rapidly during early childhood, and their swim skills need to adjust as they grow. Refresher lessons are shorter sessions, designed for students who have already completed ISR lessons and need to keep their skills fresh. These classes reinforce their survival skills, adjust for growth and changes in their proportions, and keep your little one confident and capable in the water year after year.
Maintenance Lessons for Practice
Maintenance lessons provide continued practice for children following their initial ISR lessons. Regularly scheduled weekly or even monthly lessons help keep your child's skills fresh while supporting long-term confidence and safety. Contact us to see what maintenance schedule makes sense for your little one!
FAQs
What happens if a lesson is cancelled by the instructor?
A make-up lesson will be scheduled (usually added onto the end of a session).
Do you have children that just can’t learn the skills?
No. Every child can learn. It is my job to find the best way to communicate the information so that it
makes sense to the child. I set your child up to be successful every time you bring them to me. I start
where they are and through consistent lessons, we see progress.
Are swimming lessons for infants and young children safe?
I can’t speak for all swim lessons, but I can tell you ISR is dedicated to safety and maintaining numerous
safety protocols to promote safe lessons. Your child's health and well-being are our highest priority and
are closely monitored on a daily basis. In addition, your child's medical and developmental history is a
mandatory part of the ISR national registration process, all of which is held strictly confidential. All ISR
instructors undergo intensive and rigorous training that far exceeds any other training program of this
kind. Each ISR instructor is also required to recertify yearly with emphasis on quality control, safety and
lesson efficiency. Your education in the area of aquatic safety for your entire family is an integral part of
your child's lessons. You will receive access to the "Parent Resource Guide" to inform you about every
aspect of swimming and aquatic safety for infants and children.
With research, you will find that ISR is not only the safest survival swimming program but also the most
effective for teaching infants and young children.
Why do you have the children swim in clothes?
Because 86% of children who fall in the water do so fully clothed, we want our students to have
experience with such a situation. If a child has experienced the sensations of being in the water in
clothing prior to an emergency situation, he/she is less likely to experience panic and be able to focus on
the task at hand. If you have ever jumped in the water with clothes on, then you know that there is a
significant difference in weight and feel with clothes as opposed to a bathing suit.
