Infant Swimming Resource — Self-Rescue Swim Lessons for Children 6 Months to 6 Years
Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) is the global leader in self-rescue swim lessons for children, providing life-saving aquatic skills to infants and young children from 6 months to 6 years old. Founded with the mission of preventing childhood drowning, ISR has grown into a trusted name in water safety, with thousands of certified instructors teaching lessons worldwide each day.
ISR lessons are unique because they are designed around a child’s natural development and abilities. Babies as young as six months learn to roll onto their backs, rest, and breathe until help arrives. Older children learn to combine swimming and floating skills in sequence, enabling them to swim short distances, roll onto their backs to rest, and then continue swimming until they reach safety. Each lesson is customized to the child’s needs and taught in a one-on-one format with a certified ISR instructor.
Beyond the essential survival techniques, ISR emphasizes building confidence through competence. Children not only gain critical water safety skills but also develop a love for the water, opening the door to a lifetime of safe aquatic enjoyment. Parents receive education as well, learning about safety practices, water-watching habits, and how to reinforce ISR skills outside of lessons.
With its motto “Not One More Child Drowns,” ISR has dedicated over five decades to research-based training and continuous improvement in aquatic education. For families seeking both safety and confidence in the water, Infant Swimming Resource offers peace of mind and proven results through their highly effective self-rescue method.
