Teaching babies to survive in water - ISR

The weather outside may be cold...But it is time to schedule spring and summer swim lessons!

Remember that drowning is the #1 cause of preventable death in kids 1-4 and the #2 cause in kids 5-14. Swim lessons are one very important layer in protecting your child against drowning.

*Infants and young children (6 months and up) should take high quality, one on one swim lessons that teach them to self-rescue.

*Once kids can self-rescue then they should continue lessons to learn strokes and become stronger swimmers. Continued lessons and swim teams are a great way to become strong swimmers.

What your child will learn in ISR lessons depends on his or her age and developmental readiness 💙

Typically, little ones who are 6+ mos and sitting up independently 👶will learn to roll to their back from any face down position in the water and maintain that face up floating posture until help arrives.

Once those babies are fully mobile toddlers and big kids 👦👧they learn the same rollback to float with the addition of a short swim to the wall, steps, or the outstretched hand of a grownup who is in the water with them! You will see ISR skilled students perform their swim, float, swim skills in an impressive sequence to move themselves through water safely and efficiently.

Always putting safety first, ISR will teach your child aquatic competence (which leads to confidence!) and provides the foundation for a lifetime of enjoyment in and around the water.

Our unique results are achieved through fully customized, safe and effective, one-on-one lessons with only your child and their Certified ISR Instructor in the water. To find the instructor nearest you, visit www.infantswim.com and put your location into the search tool!

Hello All,
Bode Miller and his wife Morgan Miller were on the Today Show this morning talking about the importance of self-rescue in water for children 5 and under. Their 18-month-old daughter, Emmie, drowned two years ago. Please take a look and pass along to help educate your friends and neighbors.

I am almost full for this session but I am looking for a host pool for an August/September session. Please let me know if you know of anyone that might be interested in hosting.

ISR's mission is that "Not one more child drowns."

Bode and Morgan Miller’s 7-month-old twins are learning to swim Two years after their 19-month-old daughter drowned in a pool, the Millers share how they're teaching their infant twins to "self-rescue" in water.

Education without judgment. It's so important!

Such an important message!

A recent survey of parents of children involved in drowning accidents revealed that "8 out of the 20 children involved were wearing puddle jumpers less than 4 hours before their drowning accident. 14 of those 20 had been swimming in a puddle jumper less than 2 days before their accident."
