I am thrilled to bring these lessons to families in Southern Maine. There are plenty of swimming programs available in our community, but none offer the research, safety and unparalleled results ISR provides with over 60 years in practice and research. 

ISR LESSONS ARE SAFE

Your child's health and well-being are our highest priority and are closely monitored on a daily basis. All ISR instructors undergo intensive and rigorous training that far exceeds any other training program of this kind. Recertification is required for ISR instructors on an annual basis with emphasis on quality control, safety and lesson efficiency. ISR is dedicated to safety and instructors are required to maintain numerous safety protocols to promote safe lessons.

Lessons are 10 minutes for safety and efficiency reasons. Although the pool temperature is maintained at 78-88 degrees, this temperature is still lower than your child's body temperature. Lessons are physical exertion and therefore your child will be exercising and losing body heat. Instructors check students regularly for temperature fatigue since this is an indicator of physical fatigue and will signal the end of a lesson. Also, repetition and consistency are crucial elements of learning for young children. Research shows that short, more frequent lessons result in higher retention. There’s a lot of science behind this 10 minute mark, and it’s all in the best interest of your child!

ISR SWIM INSTRUCTION SAVES LIVES

Drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children between the age of 1 and 4 in the United States. To date, ISR has OVER 800 documented cases of children using ISR Self-Rescue techniques to save themselves from drowning.

ISR IS THE FIRST AND ONLY NATIONAL PROGRAM TEACHING COMPREHENSIVE SURVIVAL SWIMMING

Its important to remember that there are a lot of lessons out there that are marketed as "survival lessons" this does not mean the instructors are ISR certified. All ISR certified instructors will be listed on locator.infantswim.com and can provide a copy of their certification.

THE ISR PROGRAM IS A GREAT PRECURSOR TO OTHER AQUATIC PROGRAMS

Students have a solid foundation of good breath control, head, and body posture, and swim movement for when they reach the age for stroke work and rotary breathing. And because the little ones are competent, happy swimmers, families enjoy being in the water together.

YOUR YOUNG CHILD BENEFITS LONG TERM

Competence begets confidence in the water; success breeds higher self-esteem. ISR instruction builds the foundation for lifelong enjoyment of the water!

THE SOONER, THE SAFER

Infant Swimming Resource teaches infants and toddlers aged 6 months to 6 years to float and/or swim independently, without the assistance of parents or flotation devices. With ISR Self-Rescue® as an option, why choose anything else? Your child could swim…just watch them!
