Practice Outside of Lessons: Proper reinforcement of the skills learned during lessons should also be practiced at home or in other swimming environments. Consistent practice will help your child retain what they have learned.
Stay Positive: Encouraging and praising your child during ISR lessons will help build their confidence in the water. Positive reinforcement plays a crucial role in the learning process.
Safety First: A pivotal part of ISR training is ensuring your child receives medical approval prior to the start of lessons with bi-annual updates. Students are monitored for emotional, physical and temperature fatigue throughout the duration of lessons. There are also hundreds of protocols in place to adjust lessons as needed for any medical conditions throughout the course of training.
Comfort: Margie's private pool provides a controlled environment for lessons that includes a heated pool and privacy for families to observe lessons.
Enjoy the Process: Infant swim training with ISR is not only about learning essential water safety skills but also about building a positive relationship with water.
