About ISR
Founded in 1966, Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) is nationally recognized as the safest provider of survival swimming lessons for infants and young children, thanks to its innovative ISR Self-Rescue™ program. We understand that parents want their children to be comfortable in and around water, making our toddler swimming lessons essential for safety.
At ISR, your child’s safety is our first priority. Each survival swim lesson is uniquely tailored to your child’s needs, based on a comprehensive assessment and continual monitoring of their health and skill attainment.
We recognize that every child learns at their own pace, and your child will be gently guided through each skill level in our infant swimming program based on their level of development and readiness.
Why Infant Swimming Resource?
Going beyond traditional swimming instruction, ISR teaches children aquatic survival techniques designed to help them survive should they reach the water alone. For more than 50 years, ISR’s proven Self-Rescue™ program has provided essential skills for both infant swimming and toddler swimming lessons, ensuring children have the necessary tools for safety and survival:
Safety:
ISR’s number one priority for your child. Before beginning lessons, your child’s unique medical history is reviewed by a team of medical professionals to identify any potential health issues that may affect your child’s lessons and safety.
Results:
Each ISR Instructor safely and gently guides your child through the process of mastering his/her survival skills. The protocols and ongoing education your Instructor receives ensure that your child, at the end of lessons, will be able to successfully demonstrate the age-appropriate survival sequence, including a rollback-to-float and/or a swim-float-swim.
Parent education:
Your child is not the only one learning during lessons. ISR’s program includes comprehensive parent education on aquatic safety and drowning prevention, which is vital for families participating in infant swimming and toddler swimming lessons.
Qualified Instructors:
Each certified ISR Instructor completes a rigorous, 8-week in-water and academic training course and participates in a highly specialized annual recertification to maintain the highest level of safety and caliber of instruction.

Effective Adult Supervision

Effective Adult Supervision
"Constant Eyes On" means designating a specific period of time to devote your complete and undivided attention to your child who is around the water. Ex. For 15 minutes, give your child 100% of your attention - do not answer the phone or turn your back, even for “just a second”. Designate one adult as the Water Watcher so there is no confusion as to which adult is responsible for watching your child.

Fences, gates, and alarms. The second line of defense is appropriate fencing around your pool, and locks to prevent access to the pool and pool alarms. Pool fences should be at least 4 feet high and should be permanently installed around the pool. A self-latching gate is a critical feature.
