Swim Float Swim
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.
Roll Back to Float
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 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.
ISR Skill Maintenance
Refresher Lessons
Because children grow rapidly, physically, and mentally during the course of a year and are continually developing new skills, these lessons assist the child to adjust their previously mastered skills to their new bodies. It is not unusual for children to not swim or float at the same skill that they did during the previous seasons's lessons. This does not mean they have forgotten to swim or float, it means that they need to practice their skills in their new larger, stronger body. The length of refresher lessons will vary based on the child's water experience and any interference that may have occurred since the last lesson.
Maintenance lessons
Designed to fine tune the student's skills, or to prevent problems with the child's technique.As a child's confidence in the water grows, they may try to experiment with be behavior or try to emulate siblings or adult. These lessons can be scheduled at any interval and are highly recommend before and after any vacation where you child will be in the water.
