Infant Swimming
Resource (ISR) is a nationally recognized system of aquatic
survival instruction for infants and young children. The
program focuses on educating parents and children about
aquatic survival and safety issues.
|
 |
ISR is the product
of more than 40 years of research and development by Dr.
Harvey Barnett.
Since 1966, more
than 150,000 infants and young children have gone through our
program with more than 5 million safe and effective lessons to
our credit. |
ISR Instructors are the most highly trained and qualified
instructors in any swimming program in the country and must
undergo strict re-certification testing annually. Each
instructor is academically trained and tested in areas such as
child psychology, physiology, anatomy and behavioral science
to provide the safest lesson possible for your child. In
addition, each instructor spends a minimum of 60 hours hands
on, supervised in-water training working with actual students.

most comprehensive drowning prevention program in the world.

What your child will learn: A baby from 6 months to 12
months will learn how to hold their breath underwater, roll
onto their back and float unassisted until someone rescues
them. A child from 1 year old to 6 years old, will learn how
to hold their breath underwater, swim head down, roll onto
their back to float, rest and breathe; then roll back over to
resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool and
crawl out.
This is called the ISR swim-float-swim sequence. All children
will learn how to perform the skills in different types of
clothes. Upon completion of the ISR program, your child will
have the survival skills needed to save him or herself along
with the enjoyment of recreational swimming.
Class Structure: Your child’s classes are 5 days a
week, Monday – Friday. Each class will be approximately 10
minutes long with just one child and myself in the water. Much
is accomplished in a short but very intense private lesson.
Your child will have the same 10 - minute time slot each day.
You can expect your child to complete the initial course in 3
– 6 weeks. Each lesson is individualized and custom tailored
for your child's needs and abilities.

weekly fees are due each Friday of the week prior to lessons.
This can be paid via cash, check, or money order.
National Registration: There is a one-time ISR national
registration fee of $105.00 for each new student. This fee can
be paid online via Paypal, credit card, or personal check.
Your registration fee covers the cost of screening procedures
for physical and developmental readiness of your child by our
team of medical professionals. You will also receive your ISR
Introductory Kit which includes your Parent Resource Book,
swim diaper (if needed), ISR t-shirt, informative DVD, etc.
There is an annual refresher fee or update fee of $35.00 for
returning students.
Refresher Classes: Almost every parent asks if their
baby or young child will really remember what they have
learned. The answer is "yes." Refresher lessons are important,
however, because as your children grow the proportions of
their bodies change significantly. The purpose of Refresher
lessons is to allow the child to practice the already learned
skills with his or her new body and new set of emotions. This
also provides the ISR instructor an opportunity to observe and
correct any "bad habits" that may have been learned. Refresher
lessons should be taken every 4-6 months for a 1-3 week time
period. Regular weekly fee applies.
Maintenance Lessons: Upon completion of your child's
initial lessons or refresher lessons, maintenance lessons are
recommended to maintain your child's skills. Maintenance
lessons are sold in packages of four (4) lessons at $40.00 per
package. Please ask me for more details.
