​We have great news this Mother's Day weekend!  Fox and Friends featured ISR Self-Rescue® instruction program and an extraordinary and courageous ISR mother with an amazing story of loss and hope.  Families around the world tuned in to watch the Morrison family, and learned about their organization, The Live Like Jake Foundation.  This family knows all too well what it is like to lose a child to accidental drowning.  

The child featured this morning on Fox News is Josie Morrison.  Her brother Jake was a precious 2 year old who passed away in a tragic drowning accident.  The Live Like Jake Foundation is very passionate about raising awareness for drowning prevention.  LLJ provides swim scholarships to those who can not afford them, as well as assist families financially who have suffered the loss of a loved one, or have a child with critical care needs. 

​You can learn more about the Morrison family's story, and how you can make a difference in saving lives, by visiting their website www.livelikejake.com.  

​ISR of Lake Lanier provides ISR Self-Rescue® instruction ​to the surrounding Lake Lanier communities (including Hall, Gwinnett, Forsyth and Dawson Counties).  If you are in need of swimming lessons or know a child that would benefit please email me at r.adams@infantswim.com.  ​

​Although 10 minutes may seem like a very short lesson, remember that each ISR Self-Rescue® lesson is private and your child is getting the undivided attention of their instructor. Each lesson, though short, is very intense. Most group lesson are only 30-45 minutes in length with as many as 6 children in each class. This equals only about 5-7 minutes of actual instruction time for each child. Before deciding that your child can't possibly learn in such a short lesson, come and observe one or more ISR of Lake Lanier lessons.

ISR has implemented the 10 minute maximum lesson length to ensure the safety of the student. Vasoconstriction checks and the condition of the abdomen dictate the end of the lesson not the clock (parents always notice that Ms. Robin NEVER wears a watch).

• The 10 minute maximum lesson aids in the prevention of hyponatremia when establishing breath control.
• Allows the Instructor to end the lesson on a better approximation of the target behavior, keeping our student successful within this time frame and getting them out on a positive note rather than due to muscular fatigue.
• Allows the Instructor to end the lesson before physical fatigue sets in. Once physical fatigue sets in posture and coordinated movements begin to deteriorate rapidly and therefore less than optimum performance gets reinforced.
• Studies show that children learn faster and retain skills best when taught in short increments frequently. Hence, the 5 days in a row, 10 minute lessons.
