What is ISR?
ISR (Infant Swimming Resource) is Self-Rescue survival swim — not traditional “swim lessons.” Instead of just splashing around, your child learns the skills to save their own life in the water: to roll onto their back, float, breathe, and rest until help arrives.
1-on-1, every time
Every lesson is private and tailored to your child.
~10 min/day
Short daily lessons, 5 days a week.
~6 weeks
Most children complete the program in about six weeks.
ISR-certified
Hundreds of hours of training + ongoing recertification.
Our Programs
Rollback to Float
Your baby learns to roll onto their back, float, breathe, and stay calm until help arrives.
Swim-Float-Swim
The full sequence — swim a short distance, roll to float and rest, then continue to safety.
Special Needs & Neurodivergent
The same proven, medically-sound method, adapted to your child.
How It Works
Mon–Thu/Fri, ~10 min each. With Coach Brad: 4 days/week (weeks 1&2 are 5). With other instructors: 5 days/week.
Short, consistent, and effective — most children complete the program in roughly six weeks.

Pricing
A non-refundable deposit secures your spot and goes toward your final two weeks of lessons — so nothing is lost, it’s applied to your child’s program.
Why the investment? In ~6 weeks of short, daily 1-on-1 lessons your child gains real water-survival skills — not years of weekly classes — delivered by someone who has genuinely earned the right to be in the water with your child.
I immediately thought those lessons were worth every single penny.
Common Questions
Several do at first — and that’s completely normal. The water is unfamiliar, and crying is a typical reaction. Most children settle within a few sessions, and many end up loving the water by the end.
We work with babies as young as 6 months. The earlier the better — young children are remarkably capable learners in the water.
Most children complete the program in about 4–6 weeks, with lessons 4–5 days a week. Short, consistent, and effective.
