One-on-One Survival Swim Instruction
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!
Infants (non-walkers/floaters)
Babies 6 months or older that are able to sit up independently (non-walkers) will learn to rotate and float.
ISR swim lessons to children walking
Students that are able to walk will learn a swim float swim sequence. They become aquatic problem solvers! My students learn to swim head down using arms and legs, becoming very strong swimmers. They will also learn to roll back and rest on the back calmly, then flip back over to continue the sequence. It's amazing to see at the end of the session!!
Refresher lessons
Refresher swim lessons are so important! Every year, student need a quick refresher to build confidence and tweak up their skills
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.
How do the kids react during the first few lessons?
Children often fuss during the first few lessons because they are in a new environment and around new
people. As your child becomes more confident in his/her ability in the water, the fussing will decrease.
It is not unlike the first time you tried a new exercise class or were asked to perform a task at work that
you’d never done before: the first time you try a new task it is always challenging, until you get the hang
of it. It is the same for your young child. Your child is learning to perform a skill that he/she’s never done
before.
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.
I hear you say your priority is survival skills. Will my child learn to actually swim?
Yes. At ISR, we believe that part of survival for a child who can walk is swimming. Children learn the
swim-float-swim sequence so that they could get themselves to safety. The difference in our program is
that they will learn swimming AND survival skills and how to be an aquatic problem solver.
