All students, even those as young as 6 months old, learn the fundamental ISR skill of rolling onto their backs to float, rest, and breathe. Infants and toddlers who are not yet walking well will learn to maintain this position until help can reach them, and it's just as important for our older students as they incorporate more swimming skills.
As toddlers and young children gain more physical skills on land, they are ready to learn more skills in the water as well. ISR teaches children to swim a short distance, rotate onto their back to a floating position, and then turn over to continue the sequence of swimming and floating until they can reach safety at the steps, side of the pool, or shoreline.
Students who have been previously skilled in ISR will be offered refresher opportunities to maintain their skills and confidence throughout the year.
Refreshers take place every 6 months, parents should work with their instructor to determine refresher schedule that is right for their child.
As a parent, you know how quickly your child grows, this is chance for your child to adjust to their bigger body in the water as well and work out any bad habits that may have developed.
