Lesson Format
Infant Swimming Resource uses a unique set of
prompts and procedures designed to teach both the verbal child and the
non-verbal infant survival swimming skills. The technology required to teach an infant to handle himself in the water is primarily found within sensorimotor
learning and infant psychology and development. The practical application of
this, however, must be custom-tailored to your child's physical abilities.
In addition to teaching your child, ISR has developed a complete program
of parent education concerning many facets of drowning prevention. The Parent Resource Guide is available to all parents registering their children in the program and it includes such topics as attitude and emotions, physiology and safety before, during and after the lessons, family aquatic safety and other valuable information.
your registration form, the non-refundable registration fee must be
paid using a credit card or electronic check with Pay Pal. Prior to
registration you will need to contact an instructor and schedule your child’s
lesson time. Once you have chosen a lesson time, then your instructor will
e-mail you their registration link. (There is a one-time registration fee of
$105 that is made payable to ISR Inc.) **This Registration Fee is not deducted
from the overall cost of the tuition.
Lessons:
Your child's lessons are 5 days a week, Monday-Friday. Each class will
be approximately 10 minutes long with just one child and the instructor in the
water. Much is accomplished in a short but very intense private lesson. Your
child will have the same 10-minute time slot each day. You can expect your
child to finish in approximately 6 weeks for floating or 6-7 weeks for
swim-float-swim.
Refresher Lessons:
Upon completion of initial lessons, every child should take a refresher course the following year. There is a registration fee annually of $35 to be paid to ISR. Another option for lessons could also be maintenance lessons attending classes 2-3xs weekly to maintain or enhance their skills.
Scheduling your lessons:
To register with ISR, a detailed registration form, that includes the student’s
medical history, must be completed online through ISR's secure site.

Cost of Lessons
The Infant Swimming Resource technique and goals
are unique. Swimming simply means “to move through the water”. This definition is very limited to any movement. This is why ISR emphasizes more than just "swimming skills" ISR strives to provide a comprehensive SURVIVAL SWIMMING program. Survival swimming is the ability to self rescue by moving through the water independently while breathing effortlessly. Effort takes energy, and children have limited sustainable energy. A child swimming and lifting his head to breathe is expending great amounts of energy to attain
air. This technique will soon fatigue a child. The rollback to a float to
breathe is effortless offering unlimited rest and air while in the water, thus equipping the child with aquatic self rescue survival skills to potentially save himself in an emergency situation. Most importantly, the ISR student will have practiced all the SURVIVAL SWIMMING, self rescue skills while fully clothed.
Cost:
Registration Fee: Initial registration fee of $105 is to be
paid directly to ISR (you will fill out a medical history questionnaire to be
reviewed by a panel of RN's at our corporate office. ISR will then email me with
recommended safety protocols specific to your child's needs. $35 yearly
fee is required to update a registration for returning students.
Weekly Tuition: $115 per week if the session is paid in full, if a family would like the option of paying weekly the lessons are $120 per week paid directly to your instructor each Monday.
Roll Back To Float Program (Infants 6-12 mo. old):
This is a basic survival skill for students who are
crawling. He or she will be taught to rotate from a face-down position in the
water to a back float. The baby will be taught to rest and breathe on his or
her back until help arrives. A child who enrolls in the ISR program as an
infant will learn the correct posture for swimming early which will facilitate
learning at the next level. The typical infant will take approximately 6 weeks
to attain these skills.
Swim-Float-Swim (Children 1 year to 6 years old):
This series of skills is taught to children who have begun walking. Toddlers are taught to
utilize that cross-coordinated motion for movement through the water. He or she
will be taught to swim face down with eyes open; roll on his or her back to
float, rest and breathe when he or she needs air; and then flip over onto his
or her stomach to continue swimming until he or she reaches a point of safety.
This swim-float-swim sequence can be repeated as many times as is necessary to
reach safety. This skill set can be achieved with 5 lessons per week in
approximately 6 weeks.
