New Student Lessons

New student lessons are 4 days a week, 1 on 1, 10 minutes a day for approximately 6-8 weeks. For little ones that are not yet walking they will learn how to rollback into a float. For students that have been walking for at least 3 months, they will learn the full Swim-Float-Swim sequence.

Refresher Lessons

After completing their ISR skillset, refresher lessons are suggested every six months. As children grow, their skills will need to be adjusted to their new height and weight. Refreshers are highly recommended to maintain their skills as they most likely hit developmental milestones since the last time they have seen us. These lessons are 4 days a week and typically take 3-4 weeks.

Maintenace Lessons

After completing ISR skill set, maintenance lessons help students to maintain their skills and confidence throughout the year. Ideally, these lessons should be scheduled at intervals recommended by the instructor, ranging from once or twice a week to once a month.

FAQs

Do parents have to leave during the lessons?

No. You are truly the best cheerleader your child could have. Your positive support and encouragement are invaluable to creating an effective learning environment for your child.

Can’t babies swim naturally?

Unfortunately, babies cannot naturally swim. If this were the case, there wouldn’t be so many drownings every year. According to the Center for Disease Control and Accident Prevention, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children ages 1-4 in the United States.

What is the American Academy of Pediatrics position on swimming lessons for young children?

The AAP encourages parents to consider that starting water-survival skills training at an early age must be individualized, based on the child's frequency of exposure to water, emotional maturity, physical limitations and health concerns related to swimming pools. You can view their policies and suggestions through the AAP website here: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/at- play/Pages/Swim-Lessons.aspx

Will my child fear the water because of lessons?

There is an important difference between being fearful and being apprehensive because you are not yet skilled in a new environment. ISR is not like traditional swim lessons; it is a drowning prevention program that teaches survival swimming. Sometimes as a parent, you make choices for your child’s safety, like sitting in a car seat, because you know they are important. The same can be said for ISR. Fun can be defined as when skill meets challenge. Once competent in their skills, many children cannot be dragged away from the pool. They are having entirely too much FUN.
