Why Choose ISR
The State-of-the-Art Drowning Prevention Program

  1. Unnecessary Tragedies Should Be Prevented
    Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death for children under the age of 5 in the United States, accounting for 25% of accidental deaths among these young children.

  2. ISR Swim Instruction Saves Lives
    To date, ISR has 784 documented cases of children using ISR techniques to save themselves from drowning.

  3. Parents Need Their Children To Be Skilled
    Many children live or vacation frequently near pools and open bodies of water. For these families, it is essential that their children learn swimming and aquatic survival skills at a very young age.

  4. Your Child Can Do This
    The ISR instructor teaches the verbal and non-verbal young child or infant how to successfully float and swim in the water through extensive training in sensory-motor learning and operant conditioning. Your child also learns aquatic problem solving survival skills in order to effectively cope with many possible water emergency scenarios. Just watch them!

  5. ISR Is The First And Only National Program Teaching Comprehensive Survival Swimming To Little Ones
    Infant Swimming Resource teaches infants and toddlers aged 6 months to 6 years to float and/or swim independently, without the assistance of parents or flotation devices, even before youngsters can walk and talk.

  6. The ISR Program Is A Great Precursor To Other Aquatic Programs
    Students have a solid foundation of good breath control, head and body posture, and swim movement for when they reach the age for stroke work and rotary breathing. And because the little ones are competent, happy swimmers, families enjoy being in the water together.

  7. ISR Instruction Fosters Better Family Aquatic Safety
    Statistics show ISR students are less likely to fall in the water and their parents actually exercise more vigilance with their children around water than those who have not gone through the program.

  8. The ISR Program Is Exceptionally Safe And Effective
    With more than 160,000 children and over 6 million lessons, no current or former ISR student has ever drowned, nor has one been injured during a lesson.

  9. Your Young Child Benefits Long Term
    Competence begets confidence in the water; success breeds higher self esteem. ISR instruction builds the foundation for lifelong enjoyment of the water.

  10. The Sooner, The Safer
    With ISR as an option, why choose anything else? Your child could swim...just watch him!
