LESSONS
- this technique is the most fundamental skill in ISR
- you're child is ready for lessons once they can sit unassisted
- they will learn to hold their breath underwater
- they learn how to roll to their backs and stay in an unassisted float allowing them to rest and breathe
- the goal is for your child to maintain this floating position until someone can reach them.
- this step is for those that are developmentally ready and have mastered walking
- your child will learn to swim a short distance, roll into a float for rest and breathing, and then back to another swim until they can safely get themselves out of the water
Its important to remember that there are a lot of lessons out there that are marketed as "survival lessons" this does not mean the instructors are ISR certified. All ISR certified instructors will be listed on locator.infantswim.com and can provide a copy of their certification.

Repetition is key! Lessons are 10 minutes long, 5 days a week, for a minimum of 6 weeks. Lessons may extend beyond 6 weeks if I feel your child needs more time to learn these important skills. Each child is different which is why each lesson is one-on-one and customized to best fit each child's learning needs.
Refresher lessons..
Refresher lessons are extremely important in continuing and maintaining your child's ISR Self-Rescue® skill development. Children grow and develop rapidly from infants to toddlers and young children. We want your child's skills to grow with them! Frequency of refresher lessons depends on the child's age, growth rate, skill level, and confidence level! Refreshers allow your child to fine tune an practice their skills.
