Your Water-Safety Instructor in Surprise

When I first observed my daughter as a skilled ISR student, I was captivated with the ISR program. I still remember it as though it was yesterday; I saw a little girl barely 2 years old fully dressed in her winter clothes swimming, rolling back to float and then swimming again until she reached the wall from the middle of the pool. I was fascinated as I watched her demonstrate the aquatic survival skills that she was taught by her ISR Instructor. I could not believe that such a young child could learn these skills. I was so impressed with the ISR program, its Instructors, and the overall philosophy of Infant Swimming Resource that I decided to become an Instructor so that I could offer these life-saving, confidence-building skills in my community.

There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a young child in the water roll onto his/her back and float for the very first time. Watching these young children learn valuable skills and develop confidence in themselves is very special and rewarding to me.

FAQs

How can you teach babies and young children to swim?

ISR instructors teach infants to swim by honoring each child's individual strengths and experiences. They understand the fundamentals of the behavioral sciences, child development and of sensori-motor learning as it relates to the acquisition of aquatic survival skills; they use this education to guide each child through the sequence of learning to swim and float.

Do parents have to leave during the lessons?

No. You are truly the best cheerleader your child could have. Your positive support and encouragement are invaluable to creating an effective learning environment for your child.

What other benefits does the ISR lesson experience provide students?

Every child is unique. However, many parents report that once their young children have mastered learning to swim, the resulting confidence in their abilities engenders a positive self-concept that is often demonstrated in other aspects of their personalities. There are also obvious health and other psychological gains.

Will my child fear the water because of lessons?

There is an important difference between being fearful and being apprehensive because you are not yet skilled in a new environment. ISR is not like traditional swim lessons; it is a drowning prevention program that teaches survival swimming. Sometimes as a parent, you make choices for your child’s safety, like sitting in a car seat, because you know they are important. The same can be said for ISR. Fun can be defined as when skill meets challenge. Once competent in their skills, many children cannot be dragged away from the pool. They are having entirely too much FUN.
