FAQs
Why are ISR lessons so expensive?
ISR Instructors are highly trained in child learning, psychology and behavior, are required to recertify skills annually and are backed by a world-class support system. Each Certified ISR Instructor is an independent business owner and sets their rates according to many factors such as location, demand and cost of pool rental. While there are no guarantees, most students become fully skilled - independent and able to self-rescue in the water in a matter of weeks, versus potentially years in "traditional" swim programs. Ask the overwhelming majority of our ISR families and they will tell you that every penny is well worth the peace of mind it brings to them and the confidence and competence they see in their young children . Safe + effective = more value for your dollar! ISR partners with many charitable foundations to provide needs based assistance for families who qualify.
Why don’t parents participate in the water during the lessons?
We do not want the baby to initially associate the water with the love, attention, and affection of the parent while in the water. Also, it takes incredible concentration and objectivity to teach the baby how to respond to an aquatic emergency and our experience shows that parents often find it too difficult to be objective to be effective teachers with their own children in the water. We gladly invite parents to join us in the pool once their child has independent skills to practice at home.
How can you teach babies and young children to swim?
ISR instructors teach infants to swim by honoring each child's individual strengths and experiences. They understand the fundamentals of the behavioral sciences, child development and of sensori-motor learning as it relates to the acquisition of aquatic survival skills; they use this education to guide each child through the sequence of learning to swim and float.
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
