Self-Rescue

You want your child to enjoy all the fun life has to offer, while ensuring those activities do not compromise his or her safety or well-being. High-risk activities such as playing in and around water must be approached with utmost caution and a protective introduction to the activity.

ISR goes beyond traditional swimming instruction, teaching children self-rescue techniques to survive in the water.

Babies 6 to 12 months learn to:
  • Hold their breath underwater
  • Roll onto their back
  • Float unassisted, rest, and breathe until help arrives
  • Perform these self-rescue skills first in a swim diaper, then while fully clothed
Children 1 to 6 years old learn to:
  • Hold their breath underwater
  • Swim with their head down
  • Roll onto their back to float, rest, and breathe
  • Roll back over to resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool, crawl out, or are rescued by an adult
  • Perform these self-rescue skills first in a swim diaper or bathing suit, then while fully clothed
