LESSONS
Skill Sessions
The Infant Swimming Resource Self-Rescue™ survival swimming program is a specialized course designed to equip children with life-saving water safety skills. The commonly referenced 6–8 week timeframe is a national average, as each child progresses at their own pace based on their individual needs, consistency, and readiness. Lessons are 5 days per week, Monday through Friday, for 10 minutes each day.
We teach children beginning at 6 months, customizing every lesson to your child’s developmental stage, medical history, and prior experience in the water to ensure safe, effective results.
Infants and toddlers who are not yet walking independently are taught to roll onto their backs, maintain a stable floating position, and breathe until help arrives.
For children who are walking, we introduce the Swim-Float-Swim technique. Students learn to swim underwater for short distances, roll onto their backs to rest and breathe, and then resume swimming toward an exit where they can safely get themselves out of the water or wait for help to arrive.
Once students are fully skilled, they will practice ISR skills in clothing during lessons, including everyday items like shoes, diapers, or seasonal attire, preparing them for real-world scenarios.
We also recommend continuing with maintenance lessons once a child is fully skilled to reinforce their Self-Rescue™ swimming skills as they grow and develop physically.

Maintenance Lessons
Designed for children who have completed their initial ISR Self-Rescue™ skills session, maintenance lessons help keep previously learned skills strong, consistent, and reliable throughout the year. These individual, 10-minute lessons provide opportunities for regular practice and reinforcement while maintaining confidence in the water.
Maintenance lessons are generally recommended 1–2 times per month. We'll work together to determine the appropriate maintenance schedule for your child, as every child's needs and development are different.
**If you notice your child exhibiting any unwanted or inappropriate swimming behavior, contact me ASAP to schedule a Maintenance Lesson!
Refresher Lessons
Maintenance Lessons
Maintenance Lessons
Refresher sessions are designed for children who have completed their initial ISR Self-Rescue™ skills session. As children grow, changes in their height, weight, strength, and coordination can affect their swimming and floating abilities. Refreshers provide an opportunity to fine-tune and strengthen previously learned skills to accommodate their growing bodies and developing abilities.
Refreshers follow a condensed version of the initial skills program and are generally recommended every six months or more frequently, depending on the child's individual needs, development, and opportunities to practice their skills.
Sessions typically last approximately two weeks, with lessons held Monday through Friday. Additional time may be needed depending on each child's progress.
