ISR of the Carolinas

: If your child has completed the 6 week program and needs to maintain their skills (typically once or twice per month) Click Here
Maintenance is not available if a child has been out of lessons without seeing an instructor for more than two months. You will need to schedule a refresher session in this case. Please contact us with any questions.
: THIS LINK IS A THREE WEEK REFRESHER OF SKILLS.
This is the link to click if your child has completed the full set of ISR lessons with an ISR instructor but has not been in water with an instructor for an extended period of time. If the child has learned the roll back to float only, you will want to schedule a 6 week session for them to learn the swim float swim.
Please contact us with any questions.

Students who are 6 months through about 12 months will learn survival floating. He or she will be taught to rotate from a face-down position in the water to a back float. The baby will be taught to rest and breathe on his or her back until help arrives. You can expect that the typical infant will attend 5 lessons per week for an average of 6 weeks to attain these skills.
A child who is walking or very close to walking (usually anytime after 12 months to about 6 years) will learn a swim-float-swim sequence. He or she will be taught to swim face down using arms and legs (similar to a freestyle stroke); roll on his or her back to float, rest and breathe when he or she needs air; and then flip over onto his or her stomach to continue swimming until he or she reaches the wall or stairs. This swim-float-swim sequence can be repeated as many times as is necessary to reach safety. This skill set can be achieved with 5 lessons per week in about 6 weeks.
After accomplishing these skills in a bathing suit, children will then practice their skills in summer clothing and then progress onto winter clothing. This additional work is critical to survival swimming because most children who find themselves in the water alone are fully clothed.
