What They learn

---

ISR lessons are a 6-week commitment. Lessons are 5 days a week, Monday-Friday for 10 minutes per day.

Starting at 6 months old, a child can learn to hold their breath under water, roll onto their back, float, rest and breathe until help arrives.  It takes approximately 6 weeks for a baby to master these skills. After they have learned to perform these skills independently, all children then practice these skills fully clothed.

Children ages 1 year and older can learn to hold their breath under water, swim face down, roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe, then flip back over and continue swimming. They continue this "swim-float-swim" sequence until they reach the safety of the pool side or the steps. To master these skills takes approximately 6 weeks. 

After they have learned to perform these skills independently, all children then practice these skills fully clothed since most accidents happen when least expected. Parents are able to get in the water with us once their child is fully skilled.

Each lesson is 10 minutes in length and students attend lessons 5 days per week, Monday through Friday, for 6 weeks. This schedule is key for the retention of skills. Each lesson is one-on-one with the Instructor and is individualized to meet your child’s needs and abilities.
