One-on-One Lessons
Your child receives 10-minute daily lessons, building survival swimming skills progressively. This usually occurs over 6-8 weeks.
Life-Saving Skills
Your child learns to float, breathe, and swim to safety — skills that last (and protect) a lifetime.
What They'll Learn
ISR teaches children real survival skills tailored to their age and development. They learn to float, breathe, and rest (even fully clothed) — because real emergencies don't wait for a swimsuit.
Rollback to Float
All students — even as young as 6 months — learn to roll onto their backs to float, rest, and breathe. Infants and toddlers maintain this position until help arrives.
Swim – Float – Swim
Toddlers and young children learn to swim a short distance, rotate to float, then continue the sequence until they reach safety at the steps, pool side, or shoreline.
How Long Does It Take?
Lessons are 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for an average of 6–8 weeks. Short daily sessions build skills that last a lifetime — every child learns at their own pace.
After completing the program, refresher lessons every six months keep skills sharp as your child grows. Maintenance lessons help maintain confidence year-round.

"I can't speak highly enough about Mindy, the instructor, the program and the progress my son has made. These lessons have brought me a peace that I haven't felt in a long time. Mindy was patient, knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly helpful. I would recommend this to anyone 10 times over. I feel these lessons were invaluable to say the least."
