​WELCOME TO ISR OF LAKE LANIER!

The ISR Self-Rescue® instruction our students receive is the product of over 50+ years of research and achieves unparalleled results.  Founded in 1966 by Dr. Harvey Barnett, ISR is now the global leader in the industry it pioneered: survival swimming lessons for infants and young children.  

The focus of ISR Self-Rescue® Survival Swim lessons is survival.  Why? Across our nation  and in 18 of our states, drowning is the number one cause of death for children under the age of four years old.  This statistic is alarming, but the good news is...drowning is preventable. ISR Self-Rescue® instruction  recommends building layers of protection between your child and the water.  These layers are essential because the reality is that most children do not drown because of LACK of supervision, it is a LAPSE in supervision, and it only takes a momentary distraction for a curious toddler to get out of your sight. ISR Self-Rescue® students are the best aquatic problem solvers in the world!

our mission

​Today, our mission, “Not One More Child Drowns,” is the foundation of everything we do and is the driving force behind ISR’s employees, our independent ISR Instructors, and our major corporate partnerships.

We believe the successful prevention of the leading cause of accidental death for children under the age of 4 in the U.S. will require a large group of caring and capable professionals whose sole focus is to save lives.  ​To date, we have delivered more than 8,000,000 ISR Self-Rescue® lessons and saved more than 800 lives.

Flotation devices are for children who cannot swim. Children, who cannot swim, should NOT be allowed to learn that it is safe to play in the water while relying on a flotation device.
