FAQs
Are swimming lessons for infants and young children safe?
I can’t speak for all swim lessons, but I can tell you ISR is dedicated to safety and maintaining numerous
safety protocols to promote safe lessons. Your child's health and well-being are our highest priority and
are closely monitored on a daily basis. In addition, your child's medical and developmental history is a
mandatory part of the ISR national registration process, all of which is held strictly confidential. All ISR
instructors undergo intensive and rigorous training that far exceeds any other training program of this
kind. Each ISR instructor is also required to recertify yearly with emphasis on quality control, safety and
lesson efficiency. Your education in the area of aquatic safety for your entire family is an integral part of
your child's lessons. You will receive access to the "Parent Resource Guide" to inform you about every
aspect of swimming and aquatic safety for infants and children.
With research, you will find that ISR is not only the safest survival swimming program but also the most
effective for teaching infants and young children.
Do you have children that just can’t learn the skills?
No. Every child can learn. It is my job to find the best way to communicate the information so that it
makes sense to the child. I set your child up to be successful every time you bring them to me. I start
where they are and through consistent lessons, we see progress.
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.
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.
