CLASSES

The ISR Skillset and Programs 

Babies from 6-12 months and children 1-6 years of age learn how to use Infant Swimming Resource’s Self-Rescue™ skills in tandem with basic swimming skills. What your child will learn depends largely on age and development level plus age. Below is a break down of depending on age and skill set.

​

Rollback to Float

 

Infants to Early Walkers

The rollback to float program teaches your baby to independently turn themselves onto their back if ever face down in the water to safely breathe, rest, and float on their back until help arrives.  This skill set takes about 4-6 weeks to accomplish.

 

Swim-Float-Swim

 

Solid Walkers

The swim-float-swim program teaches your child to swim underwater until they need to breathe, roll to their back for a few breaths until rested, then swim starting the sequence again until they reach the pool steps, side of the pool, or the shoreline.  This skill set takes typically 6 weeks to accomplish.

 

Maintenance

After completing their ISR Self-Rescue skillset, maintenance lessons help students to maintain their skills and confidence throughout the year. Ideally, maintenance lessons should be scheduled at intervals recommended by the instructor, ranging from once or twice a week to once a month.

​

Refreshers

Refresher lessons are suggested every six months. As children grow, their skills will need to be adjusted to their new height and weight to compensate for a change in their Center of Buoyancy and Center of Gravity. Refreshers are highly recommended to refine their skills as they’ve most likely hit developmental milestones since the last time they’ve seen us. Since these skills are not new, refresher lessons are scheduled for two weeks.
