Swim Lessons
One-on-One Survival Swim Instruction
Every child is unique. Our individualized, private ISR lessons are tailored to your child's unique needs, pace, and personality. We provide focused attention on your child, helping them learn self-rescue skills step-by-step while building confidence as they go!
Refreshers for Returning Swimmers
Children grow and develop rapidly during early childhood, and their swim skills need to adjust as they grow. Refresher lessons are shorter sessions, designed for students who have already completed ISR lessons and need to keep their skills fresh. These classes reinforce their survival skills, adjust for growth and changes in their proportions, and keep your little one confident and capable in the water year after year.
Maintenance Lessons for Practice
Maintenance lessons provide continued practice for children following their initial ISR lessons. Regularly scheduled weekly or even monthly lessons help keep your child's skills fresh while supporting long-term confidence and safety. Contact us to see what maintenance schedule makes sense for your little one!
FAQs
Will my child need additional lessons?
Based on our research, we know that refresher lessons are important because children change so much
both cognitively and physically during the first 0-5 years of life. It is important that their water survival
skills grow with their bodies. Frequency depends on the child's age, growth rate, skill level and
confidence level. The goal of refresher lessons is to help your child adjust his/her new body size and
weight to his/her existing skill level. Your instructor will work with your child to help fine-tune his or her
aquatic experience to assist with building efficiency, which will result in self-confidence. This is especially
important if your child has not been able to practice any appropriate aquatic skill between seasons.
How do the kids react during the first few lessons?
Children often fuss during the first few lessons because they are in a new environment and around new
people. As your child becomes more confident in his/her ability in the water, the fussing will decrease.
It is not unlike the first time you tried a new exercise class or were asked to perform a task at work that
you’d never done before: the first time you try a new task it is always challenging, until you get the hang
of it. It is the same for your young child. Your child is learning to perform a skill that he/she’s never done
before.
Why does it take an average of 6 weeks for my child to learn this?
The 6-week average is an estimate that is based on the average time in which it takes most children to
learn these survival skills. Every child is unique and ISR’s Self- Rescue program is specifically designed
based on your child’s individual strengths and needs. It is important to realize that this is an average
which means that some children will actually finish more quickly while others will need more practice.
ISR is dedicated to safety and, therefore, we want to provide your child with the time and best
opportunity to become proficient in his/her survival skills. We will always honor your child’s needs.
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.
