Our student’s well-being and safety are ALWAYS our number one priority. ISR lessons are quite demanding, both mentally and physically, and we never want to over-fatigue or exhaust our students. No one goes back to the gym after a brutal leg day, am I right? Also, we want to ensure retention of skills. As parents, you know all too well how short your little’s attention span can be, and young children attain skills best within the first 10 minutes of an activity.

ISR teaches survival skills AND proper swimming technique to ensure that all students become adept aquatic problem solvers! Once children have become fully skilled in self-rescue (floating or swim-float-swimming, depending on age/skill appropriateness).

One of the biggest differences between ISR and traditional swim lessons is that we never teach more than one little at a time. All ISR lessons are one-on-one instruction, customized to your child’s level of progress, allowing each lesson to be individualized for each student.

After your little’s initial session, you can expect their skills to last 9-12 months without regular practice and 12+ months with regular practice. Program graduates are encouraged to participate in refresher lessons (shortened session sessions of one or two weeks) annually to refresh and progress skills or maintenance lessons (once weekly) in subsequent sessions to maintain skills.
