FAQs
How do you teach them to hold their breath?
Breath holding skills are taught beginning with the first lesson. We shape breath control using highly
effective positive reinforcement techniques. We continue to reinforce these breath-holding techniques
throughout every lesson.
I hear you say your priority is survival skills. Will my child learn to actually swim?
Yes. At ISR, we believe that part of survival for a child who can walk is swimming. Children learn the
swim-float-swim sequence so that they could get themselves to safety. The difference in our program is
that they will learn swimming AND survival skills and how to be an aquatic problem solver.
How can you teach babies and young children to swim?
ISR instructors teach infants to swim by honoring each child's individual strengths and experiences. They
understand the fundamentals of the behavioral sciences, child development and of sensori-motor
learning as it relates to the acquisition of aquatic survival skills; they use this education to guide each
child through the sequence of learning to swim and float.
What other benefits does the ISR lesson experience provide students?
Every child is unique. However, many parents report that once their young children have mastered
learning to swim, the resulting confidence in their abilities engenders a positive self-concept that is often
demonstrated in other aspects of their personalities. There are also obvious health and other
psychological gains.
