Survival swimming skills for children 6 months–6 years

Anna is an Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) program serving the Metro Detroit area, providing ISR Self-Rescue™ swim lessons for children ages 6 months to 6 years. Her focus goes beyond “water comfort”—she builds water competence and independence first, teaching practical survival swimming skills designed to help a child move, rest, and breathe effectively in the water.

Lessons are taught with positive reinforcement and age- and skill-appropriate coaching so children can progress safely and confidently. Parents are supported throughout the process and invited into the pool after completion to learn how to practice skills correctly, with refresher and maintenance options recommended as children grow.
