 Parents know their little ones can get into virtually anything in an instant. Traditional drowning prevention strategies, while important, overlook one of the most formidable defenses: your child. At ISR of Lake Lanier, children who are mobile enough to reach the water alone learn to save themselves should they find themselves alone in the water. Generally speaking, children who can crawl and sit unassisted can learn to roll over onto their backs, breathe and rest until help arrives. Once they have learned to walk, children can learn the ISR Self-Rescue® swim-float-swim sequence.
The focus of ISR Self-Rescue® lessons is survival. Why? Across our nation and in 18 states, drowning is the number one cause of death for children under four. This statistic is alarming, but the good news is drowning is preventable. ISR 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 a lack of but 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!

 Although 10 minutes may seem like a very short swimming lesson, each ISR Self-Rescue® Survival Swimming lesson is a private one on one lesson and your child is getting the undivided attention of their Certified ISR Instructor. Each lesson, though short, is very intense. Young children are sensorimotor learners and mastery of a sensorimotor skill is most effectively achieved by short, frequent exposure. The 10-minute lesson also honors the child's attention span and avoids the risk of temperature and physical fatigue. Traditional swimming lessons are typically offered in 45 minutes to one-hour group lesson options making it appear you are getting more for your money. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In a group class, with five other students and one instructor, how much one on one instruction is your child receiving from the instructor? ...research concluded that children were most successful when the 10-minute maximum lesson length was implemented to ensure the safety of the student. The ISR Self-Rescue® Survival Swimming instruction our students receive is the product of over 50+ years of research and achieves unparalleled results. The research concluded that children were most successful when the 10-minute maximum lesson length was implemented to ensure the safety of the student.
ISR Self-Rescue® Survival Swim instruction encourages water competence first, thereby promoting a safe foundation for lifelong enjoyment of the water. Infant Swimming Resource is the most important level of protection you can give your child to prevent drowning. If fences, supervision, and alarms fail, your child's skill is an additional measure of protection! Copyright © 2020 ISR of Lake Lanier, LLC |
