Start Swimming ISR

Start Swimming ISR focuses on the ISR Self-Rescue skill of rolling onto the back to float, rest, and breathe. Children practice the full ISR Self-Rescue sequence in the water, including swimming until they need air, rotating onto the back to float, then rolling back over to continue swimming. The program includes specific skills such as Rollback to Float and Swim Float Swim, along with Maintenance Lessons and Refresher Lessons.

• Ages: 1–6 years old
• Schedule: 6-week sessions, 5 days per week

Start Swimming ISR is led by Tay, an ISR Instructor. The program’s stated mission is helping infants and young children learn life-saving Self-Rescue techniques. Lessons are fully customized, one-on-one, with only the child and the Instructor in the water. ISR is described in the provided facts as the safest provider of survival swimming lessons for children 12 months to 6 years of age, and ISR emphasizes competence, which leads to confidence and provides the foundation for a lifetime of enjoyment in and around the water. Bookings for 2026 are now open, and booking for 2026 is now live.

Parents in the provided testimonials describe Tay as incredible, empathetic, encouraging, and say she educates parents on do's and don'ts along the way. Several testimonials describe children who began lessons crying or resistant and later were splashing, getting in the water confidently, floating calmly, jumping into the water, and swimming in the deep end by the end of the 6-week lessons. One parent states, “I can honestly say that my son is alive because of what ISR taught him and for that I will be eternally grateful,” and another says, “BYE BYE TRADITIONAL SWIM LESSONS. Our son is now a fish. For sure going back for refreshers.” Multiple parents mention planning to return for Refresher Lessons and to enroll younger siblings when they are eligible.
