Teach them safety for life — starting in the water.

Little swimmers. Big safety.

One-on-One Survival Swim Instruction

Every child is unique — and every child deserves the skills to stay safe in and around the water, no matter their age. Our private, individualized ISR lessons are customized to match your child’s specific needs, pace, and personality. With focused, one-on-one instruction, your child learns vital self-rescue skills step by step while building confidence, safety, and independence with every lesson.

Refresher lessons

Children grow and change quickly during their early years, and their swim skills should grow with them. Refresher lessons are shorter sessions designed for students who have already completed ISR training and need to keep their skills sharp. These lessons help reinforce self-rescue techniques, adjust for changes in size and coordination, and ensure your child stays confident and capable in the water year after year.

Maintenance lessons

Maintenance lessons offer ongoing practice for children after completing their initial ISR training. These short, regular sessions—whether weekly, monthly, or seasonally—help keep self-rescue skills sharp and support lasting confidence and safety in the water.

FAQs
How can you teach babies and young children to swim?
ISR instructors teach infants to swim by honoring each child's individual strengths and experiences. They understand the fundamentals of the behavioral sciences, child development and of sensori-motor learning as it relates to the acquisition of aquatic survival skills; they use this education to guide each child through the sequence of learning to swim and float.
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.
What is the American Academy of Pediatrics position on swimming lessons for young children?
The AAP encourages parents to consider that starting water-survival skills training at an early age must be individualized, based on the child's frequency of exposure to water, emotional maturity, physical limitations and health concerns related to swimming pools. You can view their policies and suggestions through the AAP website here: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/at- play/Pages/Swim-Lessons.aspx
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.

Because every child deserves the skills to survive

and the confidence to swim.
