How to Register

Ready to take the leap,

   make the commitment,

      and let your child learn

         aquatic survival skills?!

All students must have approval from Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) before lessons may begin. The registration process is the means by which this is done.

  1. Talk with Instructor.
    If you are interested in registering your child, please contact me at b.gorman@infantswim.com or by phone: (215) 593-7485. Be sure to include your phone number and a good time to reach you. We will discuss the program in more detail and go over schedule availability. Click here for lesson times and locations.

  2. Online National Registration and Fee.
    After you and I have discussed the program, you've determined you want to make the commitment for your child to take lessons, and there is a space for your child in the schedule, you can proceed with the ISR registration process. I will email you a  link to the ISR registration console, a secure site where you can register for lessons specifically with me as your child's instructor. There is a $105 National Registration Fee per child which may be paid with either credit card, PayPal, or check. After you submit your child's registration, Infant Swimming Resource will review it. If there is anything they need to follow up with you about, they will contact you directly. If/when your child has been approved for lessons, ISR will send both you, the parent, and me, the instructor, a confirmation of acceptance of the registration stating that lessons may begin. They will then process your payment. I confirm the registration by entering a start date and lesson time. Approval typically takes between 48 hours and 1 week to complete.

  3. Initial lesson deposit and reservation of lesson time slot.
    To reserve the time slot we've discussed for your child, please mail a check for the first two weeks of lessons ($200 for private facility, $190 for YMCA) payable to: Barbara Gorman; after we speak on the phone, I will give you the address to which you should send this.

I will email or mail you a registration packet that includes all the information you need regarding necessary swim attire, what to bring to lessons, foods to avoid, etc. Please review everything carefully in advance of the first lesson. You can also find this information on my website under Daily Lesson Requirements.

Each family receives the ISR Parent Resource Guide. This is a fabulous resource; please read it in preparation for the first lesson. It explains the many facets of ISR lessons and techniques, addresses FAQs and the role of parent, and provides vital information for practicing good family aquatic safety.

Thank you for choosing ISR lessons for your child - it is an exceptional program. Please feel free to contact me anytime at b.gorman@infantswim.com or (215) 593-7485 with questions or to check lesson time availability. I look forward to seeing you soon and teaching your little one aquatic self-rescue skills!

Best regards,
Barbara Gorman
Certified ISR Instructor
