FAQs
Why do you have the children swim in clothes?
Because 86% of children who fall in the water do so fully clothed, we want our students to have
experience with such a situation. If a child has experienced the sensations of being in the water in
clothing prior to an emergency situation, he/she is less likely to experience panic and be able to focus on
the task at hand. If you have ever jumped in the water with clothes on, then you know that there is a
significant difference in weight and feel with clothes as opposed to a bathing suit.
If more frequent but shorter lessons are better, then why don’t you teach 7 days/week?
Everyone needs a little break from learning to process the information and in this case to give muscles a
chance to recover. In addition, you need to be able to spend time with your family, as does your
instructor. Weekends are family time. Periodically, if weather or other issues have cause lessons to be
canceled for numerous days, your instructor may choose to offer make-up lessons on a weekend. This is
strictly up to the instructor and based on the availability of parents.
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.
How do the kids react during the first few lessons?
Children often fuss during the first few lessons because they are in a new environment and around new
people. As your child becomes more confident in his/her ability in the water, the fussing will decrease.
It is not unlike the first time you tried a new exercise class or were asked to perform a task at work that
you’d never done before: the first time you try a new task it is always challenging, until you get the hang
of it. It is the same for your young child. Your child is learning to perform a skill that he/she’s never done
before.
