How is ISR different?
Before you take your baby to the local pool for swim lessons, make sure you've given equal consideration to the critical importance of swimming and water safety techniques.
ISR is the safest swim instruction method nationwide, providing clinically researched instruction techniques to ensure that your child is learning self-rescue skills and the competence required to enjoy the water.
No other swim class offers a proven system for safely teaching your child to enjoy the fun of swimming, while at the same time teaching life saving skills that are proven to save lives.

Mommy & Me Hazards
There are thousands of competing swimming instructors nationwide, and parents can easily find a person or an organization willing to teach swimming to young children. Such programs can be found at any recreation facility, community pool or even national safety organizations or swim school organizations none of which have or utilize a proven system designed and proven to teach your child how to save his or her own life.
The intellectual property behind ISR's method of training centers on the self-rescue methodology developed by Dr. Harvey Barnett. ISR's foundation of continuous research and evaluation ensures the safety of the program for your child.
•ISR has trained more than 160,000 babies and delivered 6 million lessons across the United States.
•ISR is the only medically sound program proven to save lives
ISR uses both verbal and non-verbal cues to teach children as young as 6 months. Even though your child might not communicate verbally yet, he or she can learn to self-rescue. Remember, your child may not talk, but he or she has learned to crawl, walk and run. That is the only skill they need to find themselves in water danger.
Unlike other swimming lessons your child's self-rescue lessons:
•Are customized and taught one-on-one by a certified ISR instructor
•Last for10 minutes, Monday through Friday for 4 to 6 weeks
•Emphasize health, ongoing program evaluations and parent education
•Provide your child with the competence and confidence to safely enjoy the water
•Extensive parent education on safety in and around the water
ISR's safety record and proven instruction techniques are uniquely tailored to your child's needs based on comprehensive assessment and continual monitoring of your child's health and skill attainment, by certified ISR instructors.
For your child's well-being and comfort, prior to each lesson you receive BUDS (bowel, urine, diet, sleep) forms. This sheet tracks the unique physiology of your child, including bowel movements, frequency of urination, diet and meal-times, and the duration of every sleep episode in a 24-hour period.
Before each lesson, your ISR instructor will review the BUDS sheet and ask you further questions if necessary, and then individualize the lesson for your child. If your instructor feels any of these key measurements are not as they should be, your child's lesson will not take place. The BUDS sheet ensures your child learns in a healthy and safe environment.
