FAQ

  • What will my child learn?

    In general, 6 months-1 year will learn our roll back to float sequence. This is when they learn to float, how to get to that float from various positions and then will be tested on these skills.

    About 1 year to 6 years old we teach the swim float swim sequence. This is where we teach the child how to use their arms and legs to swim, roll back to float and rest then swim until they reach stairs or a wall where they are safe.

    Both programs take about 6-8 weeks.

  • Why 10 minutes 5 days a week?

    With over 50 years of teaching children to swim and float in the water and with much scientific research we have learned that children learn best through repetition hence the 5 days a week. As for the 10 minutes they are working hard in the water and your childs safety is our number one concern. We do not want to over exert them and want them to learn and be safe.

  • How long are lessons?

    ISR lessons are conducted with one Instructor and one student in the pool at a time. They are held 5 days a week, for no more than 10 minutes a day. While the average student becomes fully skilled in approximately 6 weeks, many factors influence the amount of time it takes, including: age, medical/developmental history, prior aquatic history, prior use of flotation devices, attendance, and illness.

  • How old does my child have to be?

    Only 6 months old!

    We can start the roll back to float sequence as young as 6 months old.

    We teach all kids 6 months-6 years old so we have a skill to teach every young age!

  • Will my child cry?

    Yes, most likely but that is okay. If you think about it you will be handing your child to a stranger which many kids don’t like initially and they will be out of their comfort zone. It’s okay if they are crying we don’t mind and it’s their only way to communicate. If your child was to fall in a body of water you want them to roll onto their back and CRY! It will break your heart, but you just have to know its for their own good!
