Infants (6 months-12 months): Rollback to Float

Solid walkers will learn the Swim Float Swim sequence. This will teach your child to swim underwater until they need to breathe, roll onto their backs for a few rested breaths, then swim starting the sequence again until they reach the steps, side of pool, or shoreline.

solid Walkers (1 year-6 years): Swim float swim

Returning Students

Transition Lessons (Floater to Swim Float Swim)

These lessons are for children who have already completed the Rollback to Float previously. Once the child is at least 12 months and a strong walker they can transition to learn the Swim-Float-Swim. The time to complete this progression depends on the amount of time it has been since the child was skilled, age of child, and developmental adaptations. Average length for this progression is 3-4 weeks of daily (Monday-Thursday) lessons. Default period for this section is 4 week. Time can be shortened as needed per child once lessons begin. 

Refresher Lessons (3+ months since last lesson)

ISR recommends that all students return to an ISR Instructor at least once a year (preferably at the beginning of the swim season) for Refresher Lessons.

Children grow physically, emotionally, and mentally very quickly in the first six years of their lives. Their center of gravity will change as their limbs become longer and their concept of water changes as their brains become more advanced. Refresher Lessons help your students assimilate their new growing bodies and minds to the skills they previously learned so they can continue to swim/float safely and effectively.

Previous Swim-Float-Swim students will take approximately 2-3 weeks to complete

Previous Rollback-to-Float students, refresher lessons will likely take approximately 3-4 weeks

Maintenance Lessons (<3 months since last lesson)

These lessons are for children who have already completed survival lessons. Maintenance lessons help students to maintain their skills and confidence throughout the year. Ideally, maintenance lessons should be scheduled at the intervals recommended by the instructor, ranging from once or once every other week.

These lessons are highly recommended.

If it has been longer than 3 months since your last ISR lesson, you will want to look into Refresher Lessons.
