What Your Child Will Learn In ISR Lessons

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.

What your Child Will Learn

Your ISR Instructor will customize your child's lesson experience to focus on the ISR skills that are developmentally appropriate for your child and your family's aquatic activities. Learn how those skills support your family’s broader water safety strategy.

Rollback to float

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

As toddlers and young children gain more physical skills on land, they are ready to learn more skills in the water as well. 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 until they can reach safety at the steps, side of the pool, or shoreline.

Our son is calm and happy in the water and has shown so much improvement and growth. Our daughter loves going to lessons and has became such a strong swimmer! It's amazing that they both went from not putting their heads under water to swimming unassisted under water!

My three year old has learned more in two weeks of ISR than in two summers of conventional swimming lessons. All three of my kids have made remarkable progress in a short time.

The skills my child has learned are priceless, the confidence they carry is such a gift. When my 4th child is ready he will be in lessons too giving him the same opportunities we have given our other 3 sons

Our daughter is already floating after 3 weeks of classes. Simply amazing! We are so glad we made the decision to do ISR lessons for our daughter’s safety.

I am often asked how my kids learned to swim so well at such a young age and I recommend ISR all the time

This program is so amazing. We refer many families to it and we get so many compliments of how well our 3 year old can swim.

Our daughter is loving swim, and developing a healthy respect for water. She understands that she has to work hard and find the skills to get to air, not just a wall. It’s a wonderful program!
