Piece of Mind at any Location

Infant survival swimming lessons are offered year-round in convenient locations to fit your family’s schedule. During the summer months, classes are held throughout Northwest Indiana, while in the fall, winter, and spring, lessons are available in various areas across Central Florida. All sessions take place in private pools, providing a calm and comfortable learning environment for babies and parents alike. Each lesson lasts just 10 minutes, making it the perfect balance of focused instruction and consistency for young swimmers.

If you have access to a private pool and are open to allowing lessons there, it could be a wonderful way to help more families give their children these life-saving skills.

FAQs
Is it the baby fat that makes them float?
Actually, the primary factor in a baby’s ability to float is the ability to take air into the lungs. To maintain this access to air, the child must adjust his/her posture. The difference in positioning for an adult can be inches. For a baby, this adjustment is reduced to centimeters. If a child’s body posture is just a few centimeters off, it can make the difference between the face being submerged or the child having access to air.
Why does it take an average of 6 weeks for my child to learn this?
The 6-week average is an estimate that is based on the average time in which it takes most children to learn these survival skills. Every child is unique and ISR’s Self- Rescue program is specifically designed based on your child’s individual strengths and needs. It is important to realize that this is an average which means that some children will actually finish more quickly while others will need more practice. ISR is dedicated to safety and, therefore, we want to provide your child with the time and best opportunity to become proficient in his/her survival skills. We will always honor your child’s needs.
Do you have children that just can’t learn the skills?
No. Every child can learn. It is my job to find the best way to communicate the information so that it makes sense to the child. I set your child up to be successful every time you bring them to me. I start where they are and through consistent lessons, we see progress.
I hear you say your priority is survival skills. Will my child learn to actually swim?
Yes. At ISR, we believe that part of survival for a child who can walk is swimming. Children learn the swim-float-swim sequence so that they could get themselves to safety. The difference in our program is that they will learn swimming AND survival skills and how to be an aquatic problem solver.

Little lessons,

lifelong safety.
