FAQs
What is the American Academy of Pediatrics position on swimming lessons for young children?
The AAP encourages parents to consider that starting water-survival skills training at an early age must
be individualized, based on the child's frequency of exposure to water, emotional maturity, physical
limitations and health concerns related to swimming pools. You can view their policies and suggestions
through the AAP website here: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/at-
play/Pages/Swim-Lessons.aspx
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.
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.
Do you have children that just can’t learn the skills?
No. Every child can learn. It is my job to find the best way to communicate the information so that it
makes sense to the child. I set your child up to be successful every time you bring them to me. I start
where they are and through consistent lessons, we see progress.
