ISR lessons are private and instruction will be tailored to your child's skill and comfort level. We do not have "group" lessons, because we believe your child should have our undivided attention. We customize their lessons, especially for them, to ensure the safest, most efficient lessons. We want each child to experience success and use positive reinforcement to recognize each accomplishment, no matter how small. The parent, or caregiver, watches every lesson poolside. Students attend 10-minute lessons every day Monday-Friday. We teach using behavioral psychology, sensorimotor learning and positive reinforcement, to make the ordinarily unforgiving water environment safe for your children to learn what will work to allow them to make progress in swimming and obtain air when they need it. ISR has numerous safety protocols to provide the safest possible lesson.
AGES:
Babies 6 to 12 months are taught the rollback-to-float sequence. These young children learn from their physical environment. We honor this method of learning. Through this process the child is taught breath control, correct floating posture, and the skills to attain a back float and remain floating for varied periods of time.
SEE WHAT YOUR BABY COULD LEARN:
Children 1 year or older who are walking are taught the swim-float-swim sequence -
swimming in a face down position, using his/her arms and legs; rolling onto their back to a survival float when they feel the need to breathe; and then turning back over to continue swimming.
