What skills will a child learn in ISR swim lessons?
Children 12 months and under learn how to rotate from a face-down position in the water to a back float. A baby will be taught to rest and breathe on his back until help arrives. A child who is twelve months or older will learn a swim-float-swim sequence. He will be taught to swim face down using arms and legs (similar to a freestyle stroke); roll on his back to float, rest and breathe when he needs air; and then flip over onto his stomach to continue swimming until he reaches a point of safety. This swim-float-swim sequence can be repeated as many times as is necessary to reach safety. These students are taught to use these skills to swim to a wall, the steps or if unable to reach a point of safety to utilize a back float while resting and breathing. How many ISR lessons will my child need?Progress in lessons is determined by your child’s own unique learning style as all lessons are private. Most students under 12 months complete learning a rollback to float in about 4 weeks of lesson
