ISR is the safest provider of self-rescueTM swimming lessons for children 6 months – 6 years of age. Going beyond traditional swim instruction, ISR teaches children how to survive in water.
What your child will learn:
6 to 12 months:
- Hold their breath underwater
- Rotate from a face down position to a float
- Float unassisted, rest and breathe
- Perform these self-rescue skills first in a swim diaper, then fully clothed
12 months to 6 years
- Hold their breath underwater
- Swim with their head down, using arms and legs
- Roll onto their back to float, rest, and breathe
- Resume swimming to the side of the pool
- Perform these self-rescue skills first in a swim diaper/bathing suit, then fully clothed
