My Toddler Just Started ISR Swim Lessons: Here’s What Parents Should Know My toddler recently started ISR swim lessons to learn water safety. If you're on the fence about ISR, here's my honest review.

LETS TALK WATER SAFETY!

The leading cause of death for children ages 1–4 isn’t a disease—it’s injury. And among those injuries, DROWNING is one of the leading causes of death for young children, often happening quickly and silently in home pools or nearby water.

A recent study published in Injury Prevention highlights the significant burden that injuries place on children and adolescents in the United States and emphasizes the urgent need for stronger prevention strategies and safer environments for kids. Preventable injuries continue to claim thousands of young lives each year.

The encouraging part: many of these tragedies are preventable with layered safety strategies.

Evidence-based approaches include:
• Constant, close supervision around water
• Four-sided pool fencing and barriers that separate pools from the home
• Survival swim lessons that teach young children how to roll onto their backs, float, and breathe if they fall into water
• Continued Swim lessons and water competency as children grow
• CPR training for parents and caregivers
• Community and policy efforts that prioritize child injury prevention

No single layer is enough on its own. But together, supervision, barriers, and water-survival skills can dramatically reduce risk.
Children depend on adults to create safe environments. Awareness and prevention can save lives.

Thank you so much @dr.beachgem10 for yet another wonderful explanation of a common question from parents ❤️“The fear of “dry drowning” stops parents from seeking swim and self rescue lessons, and creates a sense of helplessness with how “easily” it can occur, which is the opposite of the truth. Drowning is preventable. It takes layers of protection, one of those being lessons for kids in the water.”#drydrowning #myth #drowning #water #safety #parents #isr Disclaimer: For educational and entertainment purposes only and should not be regarded as medical advice or replace the advice of your physician.

Drowning is silent 😞Multiple layers of protection are critical to keep your child safe. No child is drown-proof, but ISR lessons will teach them self-rescue skills that add another layer of protection. One that could potentially save their lives in an aquatic emergency. 🙏 ISR lessons can begin at age 6 months old. Don’t wait to sign your child up until you think they are “the right age.” The sooner, the safer 💙Learn more at www.infantswim.com ✨ #skillsbeforethrills #isr #notonemorechilddrowns #infantswimmingresource #thesoonerthesafer #survivalswimming
