Infant Swimming Resource Cindy Horrocks, Certified Instructor
|
A baby from 6 months to 12 months will learn how to hold their breath
underwater, roll onto their back and float unassisted until someone
rescues them. A child over the age of 1 year will learn how to hold
their breath underwater, swim head down, roll onto their back to float,
rest and breathe; then roll back over to resume swimming. This is
called the ISR swim-float-swim sequence and they will be able to
repeat this sequence until they reach the side of the pool and crawl
out. Since most drownings occur while the child is in regular clothing,
all children will also learn how to perform these skills fully clothed.



Your child’s classes are 5 days a week, Monday – Friday. Each class
will be approximately 10 minutes long with just one child and the
instructor in the water. Much is accomplished in a short but very
intense private lesson, which will be individualized specifically to
meet your child’s needs and abilities. The average time period for a
baby to learn the rollback and survival float is about 4 weeks, and for
a child over age one to complete the initial swim-float-swim survival
skills is about 6 weeks. All children are individually skilled.
Upon completion of their initial lessons, every child should take a
short 1 – 2 week refresher course the following year. This will help
the child adjust his swimming skills to his developing body size.
The weekly fee is $70 per week, per child. Tuition for the week is
due each Monday before the start of lessons.
There is an initial ISR national registration fee of $105.00 for each
new student. The registration fee for returning students is $35.00.
This can be paid online via Paypal, credit card, or personal check.
Your registration fee covers the cost of screening procedures for
physical and developmental readiness of your child.
