When is the best time to enroll your child in ISR?

Many parents wonder when the best time is to enroll their child into the ISR program. Since drowning is not seasonal, we feel anytime is the best time. However, some parents tend to wait until the swimming season is in full swing before making the decision to enroll their child. We would like to encourage parents to enroll their children and get them skilled before the swim season begins. This eliminates or keeps interferences to a minimum. Interferences can be anything that hinders, lengthens, or interrupts your child's learning process of the self-rescue skills during lessons. A few interferences may be too much "free time" spent in the pool outside of lessons or even being absent from lessons due to vacations. Consistency is important to learning these skills. Bringing your child every day will increase the rate of progress and retention of learned skills. Once the students attain the survival skills, we show parents how to play with their kids in the pool to keep their child's skill level at peek performance.

Refresher Lessons

Children grow and develop rapidly from infants to toddlers and young children. This development process represents improved strength, coordination, and a more finely tuned cognitive ability. In accordance with this growth, children enrolled in ISR return periodically to participate in Refresher Lessons. These lessons are designed to fine tune your child’s existing self-rescue skills to meet the demands of their growing bodies. We encourage parents to enroll their children in refresher lessons at least once every six months upon completing the ISR program. Contact your local instructor for more information.
