Thank you for your interest in Infant Swimming Resource (ISR). ISR is the safest provider of self-rescue swimming lessons for children 6 months to 6 years of age. ISR is the only medically sound and behaviorally based approach to swimming lessons using techniques that are safe and developmentally appropriate for young children. The lessons are customized, one-on-one and emphasize health, continuous program evaluations and parent education. 

Most of the children that we encounter are either very bold around the water or very skittish and don’t like to put their faces in the water. This program will help.  At the end of your child's ISR lessons they will have mastered the ISR skills. ISR’s nationwide network of certified instructors teaches young children how to safely play in and around the water using self-rescue skills in tandem with basic swimming skills to give them the competence required to save their own lives in a drowning scenario. It is ISR’s mission to ensure that not one more child drowns.

ISR has trained more than 400,000 children and delivered over seven million lessons. There are 790 documented cases of a child using ISR’s Self-Rescue techniques to save their own life. 

Children between 6 months and 12 months of age learn to hold their breath underwater, roll onto their back and float unassisted. These skills are mastered in an average of 4 weeks. 

Children 1 year to 6 years of age learn to hold their breath underwater, swim with their head down, roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe then flip over to resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool, crawl out or be rescued by an adult. These skills are mastered in an average of 6-7 weeks.

All children learn to perform these self-rescue skills first in a swim diaper, then while fully clothed. For additional information and a video demonstration of the ISR skills in action, visit our national website, Infant Swim.
