What is ISR like?

• ISR is a self-rescue swimming program for children 6 months to 6 years old.
• Children work 1-on-1 with a certified instructor to develop self-rescue skills until they are capable of rescuing themselves if they fall in a body of water.
• ISR is a 6-8 week daily program (10 minutes per day, 5 days per week) that lasts until the child has developed the skills necessary to survive if they fall in a body of water.

How is ISR different?

• ISR is an intentional, intense program helping children learn multiple skills required until the child has developed the skills necessary to survive if they fall in a body of water.
• It is only taught 1-on-1 by a certified ISR instructor. 
• The 6-8 week daily schedule is designed for maximum learning and retention.
• ISR works with a team of pediatric doctors and nurses to medically evaluate, approve, and support each ISR child who registers. This team works to provide customized guidance and protocols to the instructor based on the child’s medical history (allergies, sinus issues, prescriptions, etc.).
• ISR provides a safety foundation that transitions well into traditional lessons once the ISR program is complete.

What will my child be able to do after ISR?

The ISR program is designed to help each child develop self-rescue skills until they are capable of rescuing themselves if they fall in a body of water.

What does it take to become an ISR instructor?

ISR instructors are required to undergo an on-site, 6-8 week intensive training to achieve certification. They are trained to provide the 1-on-1 ISR survival swimming program, which is the “safest and most effective provider of survival swimming lessons worldwide.”
