Every day in the United States, children are at risk of losing their lives by accidentally falling into water without proper supervision. Drowning is one of the leading causes of death for children 4 and under in the U.S. The peace of mind that comes with knowing that your child can save himself or herself in an aquatic emergency is priceless.

Infant Swimming Resource’s Self-Rescue™ program teaches children how to survive if they were to encounter the water alone. ISR lessons are one-on-one and customized to the developmental level of each child. Babies who can sit on their own (generally six months to 12 months old) learn to hold their breath underwater, roll onto their back to float, and rest and breathe.

Children who can walk (generally one year of age up to six years) learn to hold their breath underwater, swim with their head down and eyes open, roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe, and roll back over to resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool and can crawl out. Each program is approximately a 7-8 week course, scheduled 5 days per week, (Monday through Friday) for 10 minutes maximum each day.
