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.
Going beyond traditional swim instruction, ISR teaches children how to survive in the water. For more than 40 years, Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) has been teaching children critical Self-Rescue™ skills -- giving children the competence and confidence to safely enjoy the water. ISR’s technique teaches babies from 6 months to 6 years of age how to save themselves if they were to end up in the water alone.
More than 200,000 infants and young children have gone through our program with more than 7 million safe and effective lessons to our credit. To date, ISR has 788 documented cases of children using ISR techniques to save themselves from drowning.
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 before being considered for certification.
