ISR is the nation's leading provider of aquatic survival
swimming and self-rescue™ skills. Our mission is "to prevent
drowning, and enrich the lives of children and parents by teaching
aquatic survival skills." Our goal is that "not one more
child drowns."
ISR teaches aquatic problem solving skills through highly
effective, specialized survival swimming lessons for children ages
6 months to 6 years old. With over 40 years of research and
development, ISR provides the most comprehensive drowning
prevention program available today.
INFANT SWIMMING RESOURCE (ISR)
Since 1966, ISR has held a 100% safety record, and has delivered
over 7 million lessons to more than 175,000 children nationwide. To
date, ISR has 788 documented cases of children using ISR techniques
to save themselves from drowning. Not one former ISR student
has ever drowned.
Self-Rescue™ Method
Children ages 6-12 months learn the rollback-to-float method; they
learn to hold their breath underwater, roll onto their back, and
float unassisted. Children 1-6 years learn to hold their breath
underwater, swim with their head down, roll onto their back to
float, rest and breathe, then roll back over to resume swimming
until they reach the side of the pool, crawl out or be rescued by
an adult. All children perform these skills first in a swim diaper,
then while fully clothed. With these skills your child will
be able to swim independently and learn to move at his or her own
pace toward the safety of the side of the pool or the shores of a
pond or lake.
