Paradise Valley ISR

At ISR, the ultimate goal for our students is for them to be safer near water by being skilled to manage the aquatic environment independently. To get to that point, they need to learn in a controlled, positive, and SAFE way. Here’s more about how ISR lessons are designed to keep your child safe:

💦 Prior to beginning lessons, your child's medical & developmental history is reviewed by a team of nurses as part of our National registration process. If need be, this team will issue specific protocols and directives to your child's Instructor to customize their lessons to meet their unique needs.

💦Once lessons begin, establishing breath control is the ISR Instructor’s #1 priority. Even after your child is fully skilled, the student is not submerged for more than 7 seconds in lessons.

💦A review of your child's daily routine is performed before each lesson to help the Instructor adjust the lesson to maximize the learning experience. The instructor will also monitor your child for fatigue as well as keep tabs on their physical & psychological well being.

In a nutshell, safety is kind of a big deal for us 😉 Have questions? Learn more at www.infantswim.com 💙

So true.

The Float 💕

Did you know that learning to float is an essential life skill for children and adults alike? Everyone can, and should, learn to float!

Not only does floating provide us with a simple way to get access to air while in water, it also seamlessly transitions into a swim. (A swim that your Certified ISR Instructor can also teach your little one when they are developmentally ready!)

Visit www.infantswim.com to learn more and to find an instructor near you 😊

Children who show signs of being developmentally ready to swim will learn to propel themselves through the water in ISR lessons. We teach them to do this with their face fully submerged, eyes open, moving an age appropriate distance to a nearby wall or set of steps where they can safely rest, breathe, or even get out! Yet we still get asked somewhat often...when will my child learn to SWIM swim? 🏊‍♂️ 🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️

We are happy to answer that what you see ISR students doing is, in fact, swimming! It's not head out doggy paddling (so exhausting!) and it's not strokes (most toddlers don't have room for swim meets between naptime and diaper changes anyway!) The face in, head down, smooth swim followed by a float to breathe that your child will learn in ISR checks all the boxes ✅

They can use this swim to enjoy the water recreationally as well as call upon it in an emergency situation, should they find themselves needing to get to safety unexpectedly. Combined with their rollback to float skills it's all they need...and it's pretty amazing to watch!

How do we save our toddlers from the number 1 threat to their lives?

This article is incredibly important.

How do we save our toddlers from the number 1 threat to their lives? When my daughter was 8 months old, I willingly handed her to the murderer who took her big brother’s life. And, then I watched as she fought off this killer...

So there is no question as to my authenticity, I am a Certified ISR Instructor. I have been teaching as such since August of 2002. I love my job. And, as I have always said, I don't throw kids in the pool.

This mom didn't know just like so many others! Puddle Jumpers are not the way to go in teaching a child to swim. Please know the dangers! This mom traded hers in for ISR lessons! Now her child can swim and float! .
