ISR is much more than traditional swim lessons. It is a nationally recognized, research-based program that teaches infants and young children critical self-rescue skills designed to help them respond if they unexpectedly find themselves in the water.
These lessons do not make a child “drown-proof.” Instead, they provide an additional layer of protection by teaching essential skills that could make a life-saving difference during an aquatic emergency. While no program can replace active adult supervision, layers of protection, including ISR, work together to help keep children safer around water.
As a certified ISR Instructor, safety is always my highest priority. My goal is to create a supportive, encouraging environment where children build confidence in the water while learning skills that can last a lifetime.
Rollback to Float
Children 6 months to approximately 2 years old learn to roll onto their back, float, rest, breathe, and wait for help.
The only requirement other than being at least 6 months old is your child must be able to get into a seated position on their own and sit up independently.
Swim Float Swim
Children approximately 2 years and older learn the swim-float-swim sequence: Swimming with their face in the water, rolling onto their back to rest and breathe when needed, then flipping back over to continue swimming until they reach safety.
