ONE CHILD....ONE OPPORTUNITY

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.

Breath holding skills are taught beginning with the first lesson. We shape breath control using highly effective positive reinforcement techniques. We continue to reinforce these breath-holding techniques throughout every lesson.

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.

Based on our research, we know that refresher lessons are important because children change so much both cognitively and physically during the first 0-5 years of life. It is important that their water survival skills grow with their bodies. Frequency depends on the child's age, growth rate, skill level and confidence level. The goal of refresher lessons is to help your child adjust his/her new body size and weight to his/her existing skill level. Your instructor will work with your child to help fine-tune his or her aquatic experience to assist with building efficiency, which will result in self-confidence. This is especially important if your child has not been able to practice any appropriate aquatic skill between seasons.
