ISR Self-Rescue Swim Lessons

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 confidently will learn to maintain this position until help arrives. This skill is just as crucial for older students as they develop more advanced swimming abilities.

As toddlers and young children develop more physical skills on land, they’re also ready to learn new skills in the water. ISR teaches children to swim a short distance, roll onto their back to float, then turn over and continue swimming and floating until they can reach safety—whether at the pool steps, the poolside, or the shoreline.

Students who have previously mastered ISR will be offered Maintenance & Refresher opportunities to help maintain their skills and confidence throughout the year. 

Maintenance lessons are typically recommended at intervals ranging from once a week to once a month, while Refreshers are suggested every 6 months. 

Parents should work with their instructor to establish a Maintenance + Refresher schedule tailored to their child’s needs.
