Building trust, one lesson at a time - Joyful, experienced professional.

Welcome to Jen Sandberg's Infant Self-Rescue Lessons in Maitland/Winter Park/Casselberry/Altamonte Springs Area!

Hello, I'm Jennifer Sandberg, a Certified ISR swim instructor serving families in Maitland, Winter Park, Casselberry, Altamonte Springs area. With over 15 years of experience, I bring joy, love, and a personalized touch to each lesson. I have been married to the love of my life for 32 years and have five beautiful kids. Before I became an ISR instructor, I sat on the pool deck every year watching my own children do ISR swim lessons. I was always so intrigued by how they were taught and how well they retained their skills year after year. When my twins were 3 years old, I was trained to be an ISR instructor, so I could teach these invaluable skills to other children in my community. It is my passion to teach little ones these incredible life-saving skills in and around the water.

I believe in tailoring each session to your child's individual needs and pace. Building trust is key, which is why I start slow, allowing your little one to feel secure and confident in the water. Let's embark on this aquatic journey together and watch your child blossom into a confident swimmer under my gentle guidance.

FAQs

Do parents have to leave during the lessons?

No. You are truly the best cheerleader your child could have. Your positive support and encouragement are invaluable to creating an effective learning environment for your child.

What is the American Academy of Pediatrics position on swimming lessons for young children?

The AAP encourages parents to consider that starting water-survival skills training at an early age must be individualized, based on the child's frequency of exposure to water, emotional maturity, physical limitations and health concerns related to swimming pools. You can view their policies and suggestions through the AAP website here: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/at- play/Pages/Swim-Lessons.aspx

What other benefits does the ISR lesson experience provide students?

Every child is unique. However, many parents report that once their young children have mastered learning to swim, the resulting confidence in their abilities engenders a positive self-concept that is often demonstrated in other aspects of their personalities. There are also obvious health and other psychological gains.

Can’t babies swim naturally?

Unfortunately, babies cannot naturally swim. If this were the case, there wouldn’t be so many drownings every year. According to the Center for Disease Control and Accident Prevention, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children ages 1-4 in the United States.
