Infant Swimming Resource’s Self‑Rescue® program is designed for children ages 6 months to 6 years, focusing on safety, confidence, and essential life‑saving skills. Lessons are one‑on‑one, 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week, over approximately 6–8 weeks. This consistent structure allows children to learn at their own pace while keeping each session short, safe, and purposeful.

Next, new students must register with Infant Swimming Resource (ISR). This one-time registration, $105, includes a health screening reviewed by ISR’s Registration Evaluation Team to ensure lessons are safe and appropriate for your child. After registration, you’ll receive all the details you need to prepare for the first lesson, including schedules, pool location, and tips to help your child succeed.

If you are a returning student, this fee is only $40 if it has been 6 months or more since your last registration.

Daily Lesson Schedule

Lessons are 10 minutes per day, 5 days per week (Monday–Friday). Short, consistent lessons are highly effective and allow children to focus and retain skills. Regular attendance is essential to progress.

Typical Timelines

Initial Session: Most children complete the core ISR program in about 6 weeks, depending on age and individual progress.

• Age 6–12 months: Your baby learns to turn onto their back to breathe, rest, and float independently.

• Age 12 months-23 months: Your child swims a short distance, then rolls to their back to rest and breathe. Your child swims a short distance (without extended arms- think doggy paddle), then rolls to their back to rest and breathe, remaining in a safe floating position until help arrives.

• 2 years+: Your child swims underwater (starting to extend arms), floats to breathe and rest, then continues swimming. "Swim-Float-Swim." At this age, your child will remain in a safe, steady float until help arrives and may also have the skills to exit the water on their own. This depends on your child's strength, confidence, and type of clothing being worn at the time.

Parent Roles

• Read the ISR parent handbook before beginning lessons.

• Observation: Parents stay poolside so children can focus fully on the instructor.

• Daily BUDS Check: At the start of each lesson, I’ll ask about your child’s sleep, appetite, energy, and bathroom output (BUDS) to ensure lessons are safe and responsive.

• Encouragement: Celebrate your child’s progress — every milestone matters!

Then What?

• Refreshers: Refresher lessons are short, focused sessions designed to help your child maintain and strengthen their Self‑Rescue® skills as they grow. Because children’s bodies, coordination, and confidence change quickly, their skills naturally need updating to match their new size and abilities.

  During refreshers, we revisit your child’s core skills—rollback‑to‑float or swim‑float‑swim—and make sure they can still perform them safely, confidently, and independently. These lessons are typically much shorter than the initial session and help reinforce muscle memory, comfort in the water, and overall safety.

• Maintenance: These lessons are a light, supportive way to keep your child’s ISR skills sharp and reliable after they’ve completed their initial session. Maintenance lessons are short, periodic check‑ins—usually once or twice a week for a period of time determined by the instructor and parent based on the child's needs.

  Parents work with the instructor to determine the right Maintenance + Refresher schedule for their child.

  The goal is simple: to keep your child confident, capable, and prepared in the water as they continue to grow.
