ISR SWIM LESSONS
Welcome to Infant Swim with Christi, where I offer ISR swim lessons for infants and kids aged 6 months to 6 years. ISR's gentle and effective approach focuses on water safety and survival skills, ensuring that your child develops confidence and competence in the water.
Lessons for a 6-12 month old focus on teaching the child to roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe, and to be able to maintain this life-saving position until help arrives.
Lessons for children 1-6 years old focus on teaching the swim-float-swim survival sequence. Children learn to swim with their head down; roll onto their back to float, rest, and breathe; and roll back over to resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool, where they can either crawl out or until they can be rescued.
Once the children are fully skilled they will practice ISR’s survival techniques fully clothed during lessons. It is recommended that children complete refresher lessons to help their in-water skill level grow with their physical development.

REFRESHER
LESSONS
Refresher lessons are extremely important in continuing and maintaining your child’s ISR Self-Rescue™ skill development. Children grow and develop rapidly from infants to toddlers and young children. This development process represents improved strength, coordination, and a more finely tuned cognitive ability. In accordance with this growth, children enrolled in ISR return periodically to participate in Refresher Lessons. These lessons are designed to fine-tune your child’s existing Self-Rescue skills to meet the demands of their growing bodies. It will allow them to make adjustments in their float and strengthen their swim. Refresher lessons for previous Swim-Float-Swim students will take approximately 2 weeks to complete. For previous Rollback-to-Float students, refresher lessons will likely take approximately 3-4 weeks.
MAINTENENCE LESSONS
Maintenance lessons are also available at any time for regular fine-tuning of your child's skills. These lessons are highly recommended.
