What Will My Child Learn?

ISR Survival Float (Average of 4-5 Weeks)

For babies under 12 months or +12 months but not yet walking well: Child learns to roll back to float, rest and breathe, maintaining the float until rescued.

ISR Swim to Float (Average 4-5 Weeks)

Young Children 12 months – 14 months old will learn the following sequence: how to hold their breath underwater; swim with their head down and eyes open; roll onto their back to float, rest, and breathe unassisted until an adult can rescue them.

ISR Swim-Float-Swim (Average of 6 Weeks)

For children at least 14 months old and walking well: The entire swim-float-swim sequence: child swims with eyes open and head down; rolls back to float, rest and breathe; and flips over to swim again, repeating the cycle until reaching the stairs, ladder, side or rescued by an adult.

Transition to ISR Swim-Float-Swim (Average of 4-6 Weeks)

For children who first learned to float or swim to float (from Mike or another Instructor) and are now ready to incorporate the continued swimming portion: Child learns to swim with head down and eyes open, roll back to float rest and breathe; and flip back over to swim again, repeating the cycle until reaching the stairs, ladder, side or rescued by an adult.

Refresher (Average of 2-3 Weeks)

Refresher lessons are recommended every year for previous Swim-Float-Swim students to sharpen and maintain their ISR skills and adjust to their ever growing and changing body. We will put you on for 3 weeks unless you request 2 weeks.

Beginning Stroke (Average 3 Weeks)

Stroke lessons are for children who have mastered the ISR Swim-Float-Swim Technique and are transitioning to Free-Style (Crawl) and Backstroke (Ages 4-6 years).  This is more for the child who is ready to start Pre-Swim Team.
