LESSON STRUCTURE

How does ISR work?

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.

Lessons take an average of 5-7 weeks to complete, Lessons are 5 days per week, Monday through Friday, for 10 minutes each day.

Children may begin lessons at 6 months of age until 6+ years of age. I can take older children who are eager to learn.

Rollback to float Program for 6-12 Months

All students, even those as young as 6 months old, learn the fundamental ISR skill of rolling onto their backs to float, rest, and breathe. Infants and toddlers who are not yet walking well will learn to maintain this position until help can reach them, and it’s just as important for our older students as they incorporate more swimming skills.

Swim Float Swim Program

As toddlers and young children gain more physical skills on land, they are ready to learn more skills in the water as well. Once your child is walking and has good kicks in the water, they are ready to learn the swim float swim sequence. ISR teaches children to swim a short distance, rotate onto their back to a floating position, and then turn over to continue the sequence of swimming and floating.

Refresher Lessons

Refresher lessons are designed to fine-tune your child’s existing ISR Self-RescueTM skills to meet the demands of their growing bodies. It will allow them to make adjustments in their float and strengthen their swim.

Previous Swim-Float-Swim students will take approximately 3 weeks to complete.
