Discover ISR and Make a Life-Changing Impact
The ISR Difference in Swim Instruction
Infant Swimming Resource, or ISR, is a method developed beginning in 1966. Since that time, our core conviction has remained the same: a child who reaches the water alone doesn’t have to end in tragedy. Always putting safety first, ISR emphasizes competence, which leads to confidence, and provides the foundation for a lifetime of enjoyment in and around the water. Through highly-customized one-on-one lessons, ISR Instructors work with children ages 6 months-6 years, teaching them the ISR self-rescue skills in a matter of weeks, not years.
Rollback to Float
All students, even those as young as 6 months old, learn the fundamental ISR skill of rolling onto their backs to float, rest, and breathe. Infants and toddlers who are not yet walking well will learn to maintain this position until help can reach them, and it’s just as important for our older students as they incorporate more swimming skills.
Swim Float Swim
As toddlers and young children gain more physical skills on land, they are ready to learn more skills in the water as well. ISR teaches children to swim a short distance, rotate onto their back to a floating position, and then turn over to continue the sequence of swimming and floating until they can reach safety at the steps, side of the pool, or shoreline.
