Why Are ISR Self-Rescue® Survival Swimming Lessons Only 10 Minutes?

ISR has implemented the 10 minute maximum lesson length to ensure the safety of the student
​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. 
  • 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.

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!
