Why 10-Minute ISR Lessons?
Survival swimming lessons, lasting 10 minutes a day, 5 times a week on average for 6–8 weeks, are backed by years of research. This approach, teaching infants and young children one-on-one in 10-minute intervals, is proven as the safest and most effective for survival swimming.
Understanding "BUDS" for Personalized Lessons
Before each lesson, a BUDS (bowel, urine, diet, sleep) discussion with the instructor ensures a tailored approach.
3 Lines of Defense Against Drowning
Effective Adult Supervision, Barriers to Entry, and Survival Swimming Lessons create three vital defenses against drowning. Even with aquatic skills, no child is "drown-proofed," emphasizing the need for preventive measures.
Barriers to Entry
Secure your pool with proper fencing, gates, and alarms—a fundamental defense layer. Ensure fences are at least 4 feet high, permanently installed, and feature a self-latching gate for enhanced safety.
Parent Involvement and Education
ISR lessons aren't just for your child; parents are actively involved. Receive an ISR Parent Resource Book, guiding you on water safety for your home and family, ensuring a holistic learning experience.
