Give your child more than swim lessons; give your child an extra layer of protection with survival swimming instruction from a certified Infant Swim instructor.
A baby (6 months- 12 months old) will learn how to hold their breath underwater, roll onto their back and float unassisted until someone rescues them.
A child (1 year- 6 years old) will learn how to hold their breath underwater, swim head down, roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe; then roll back over to resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool and crawl out. This is called the ISR swim-float-swim sequence. All children will learn how to perform the skills in different types of clothes. Upon completion of the ISR program, your child will have the survival skills needed to save him or herself along with the enjoyment of recreational swimming.
Since statistics show that 83% of all children who drown are fully clothed at the time, during the final week of lessons, while under the watchful eye of an instructor, each of our students have the opportunity to practice their Self-Rescue™ skills in both their summer and winter clothes.
Class Structure:
Your child’s classes are 5 days a week, Monday – Friday. Each class will be approximately 10 minutes long with just one child and the instructor in the water. Much is accomplished in a short but very intense private lesson. Your child will have the same 10 - minute time slot each day. You can expect your child to complete the initial course in 4 – 6 weeks. Each lesson is individualized and custom tailored for your child's needs and abilities.
