The Sooner, The Safer!

Empower your child by enrolling him or her in ISR’s Self-Rescue™ program.

What is ISR?

Watching your child is not enough, nor are pool safety gates able to protect them from every hazardous water situation. Arm your child with an extra layer of protection in the unfortunate event that supervision lapses – even momentarily — and he or she ends up in the water alone.

ISR is the safest provider of infant and toddler survival swimming lessons worldwide. With more than 45 years of research and development behind ISR Self Rescue™ program, ISR teaches each child survival skills in conjunction with basic swimming lessons that give them the competence required to safely enjoy the water. To date, ISR Instructors have delivered more than 7,750,000 ISR Self Rescue™ lessons and saved more than 800 lives. Empower your child by enrolling him or her in ISR’s Self-Rescue™ program.

ISR Lessons

Infant Swimming Resource’s Self-Rescue™ survival swimming program is a 4-6 week course, scheduled 5 days per week, Monday through Friday, for 10 minutes each day. With a focus on safe, customized, one-on-one lessons by certified Instructors, ISR’s survival swimming lessons emphasize health, ongoing program evaluations and parent education to deliver the most effective and safest results in the industry. Children may begin lessons at 6 months of age until 6 years of age.

ISR lesson options:

First time lessons for 6 months until 6 year's old

Lessons for 6-12 months old

Focus on teaching the child to roll onto their back to float,
rest and breathe, and to be able to maintain this life-saving
position until help arrives.

Lessons for 1-6 years old

Children learn to swim with their head down; roll onto their back to float, rest, and breathe; and roll back over to resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool, where they can either crawl out or until they can be rescued.

Refresher Lessons

Refresher lessons are designed to fine-tune your child’s existing ISR Self-Rescue™ skills to meet the demands of their growing bodies. It will allow them to make adjustments in their float and strengthen their swim

Maintenance Lessons

Maintenance lessons are also available at any time for regular fine-tuning of your child's skills.
These lessons are highly recommended

Once the children are fully skilled they will practice ISR survival techniques fully clothed during lessons. It is recommended that children complete refresher lessons to help their in-water skill level grow with their physical development.
