I hear you say your priority is survival skills. Will my child learn to actually swim?
Yes. At ISR, we believe that part of survival for a child who can walk is swimming. Children learn the
swim-float-swim sequence so that they could get themselves to safety. The difference in our program is
that they will learn swimming AND survival skills and how to be an aquatic problem solver.
Why don’t parents participate in the water during the lessons?
We do not want the baby to initially associate the water with the love, attention, and affection of the
parent while in the water. Also, it takes incredible concentration and objectivity to teach the baby how to
respond to an aquatic emergency and our experience shows that parents often find it too difficult to be
objective to be effective teachers with their own children in the water. We gladly invite parents to join us
in the pool once their child has independent skills to practice at home.
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.
Do you have children that just can’t learn the skills?
No. Every child can learn. It is my job to find the best way to communicate the information so that it
makes sense to the child. I set your child up to be successful every time you bring them to me. I start
where they are and through consistent lessons, we see progress.
