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
Will my child fear the water because of lessons?
There is an important difference between being fearful and being apprehensive because you are not yet skilled in a new environment. ISR is not like traditional swim lessons; it is a drowning prevention program that teaches survival swimming. Sometimes as a parent, you make choices for your child’s safety, like sitting in a car seat, because you know they are important. The same can be said for ISR. Fun can be defined as when skill meets challenge. Once competent in their skills, many children cannot be dragged away from the pool. They are having entirely too much FUN.
How do the kids react during the first few lessons?
Children often fuss during the first few lessons because they are in a new environment and around new people. As your child becomes more confident in his/her ability in the water, the fussing will decrease. It is not unlike the first time you tried a new exercise class or were asked to perform a task at work that you’d never done before: the first time you try a new task it is always challenging, until you get the hang of it. It is the same for your young child. Your child is learning to perform a skill that he/she’s never done before.
Can’t babies swim naturally?
Unfortunately, babies cannot naturally swim. If this were the case, there wouldn’t be so many drownings every year. According to the Center for Disease Control and Accident Prevention, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children ages 1-4 in the United States.
Do parents have to leave during the lessons?
No. You are truly the best cheerleader your child could have. Your positive support and encouragement are invaluable to creating an effective learning environment for your child.

Little lessons,

lifelong safety.
