FAQs
Why does it take an average of 6 weeks for my child to learn this?
The 6-week average is an estimate that is based on the average time in which it takes most children to
learn these survival skills. Every child is unique and ISR’s Self- Rescue program is specifically designed
based on your child’s individual strengths and needs. It is important to realize that this is an average
which means that some children will actually finish more quickly while others will need more practice.
ISR is dedicated to safety and, therefore, we want to provide your child with the time and best
opportunity to become proficient in his/her survival skills. We will always honor your child’s needs.
Why are lessons 5 days per week and for only 10 minutes?
The reason for this is multifaceted. First, repetition and consistency are crucial elements of learning for
young children. Research shows that short, more frequent lessons result in higher retention. Second,
most children have fairly short attention spans and will not be able to focus on the task for longer and
we want to take advantage of the best time for learning. A third reason is that, though the pool
temperature is maintained at 78-88 degrees, the temperature is still lower than your child's body
temperature. Lessons are work and therefore will also be losing body heat. Instructors check students
regularly for temperature fatigue since this is an indicator of physical fatigue.
I hear you say your priority is survival skills. Will my child learn to actually swim?
Yes. At ISR, we believe that part of survival for a child who can walk is swimming. Children learn the
swim-float-swim sequence so that they could get themselves to safety. The difference in our program is
that they will learn swimming AND survival skills and how to be an aquatic problem solver.
Can’t babies swim naturally?
Unfortunately, babies cannot naturally swim. If this were the case, there wouldn’t be so many drownings
every year. According to the Center for Disease Control and Accident Prevention, drowning is the leading
cause of accidental death for children ages 1-4 in the United States.
