Building Confidence in Every Child

What sets us apart?

Expert ISR lessons for infants & toddlers in Saint Augustine, Florida. Trustworthy & personalized.

One-on-One Survival Swim Instruction

Every child is unique. Our individualized, private ISR lessons are tailored to your child's unique needs, pace, and personality. We provide focused attention on your child, helping them learn self-rescue skills step-by-step while building confidence as they go!

Refreshers for Returning Swimmers

Children grow and develop rapidly during early childhood, and their swim skills need to adjust as they grow. Refresher lessons are shorter sessions, designed for students who have already completed ISR lessons and need to keep their skills fresh. These classes reinforce their survival skills, adjust for growth and changes in their proportions, and keep your little one confident and capable in the water year after year.

Maintenance Lessons for Practice

Maintenance lessons provide continued practice for children following their initial ISR lessons. Regularly scheduled weekly or even monthly lessons help keep your child's skills fresh while supporting long-term confidence and safety. Contact us to see what maintenance schedule makes sense for your little one!

Water Safety Brought to Your Home

When my schedule permits, I travel to various locations for private lessons brought straight to your home. We incorporate pool safety and awareness for students and parents based on your own pool.

Need Some Reassurance Your Child Remembers Their Training?

Refreshers are wonderful throughout the year whether it is preparing for pool season, during summer time, or entering into fall and winter. Refresh sessions are just that! We review your child's skill set and make adjustments when needed. When in doubt, it is always best to refresh!

They Aren't Doing the Same Thing With Us in the Water Now?

Children will always behave differently with parents, siblings, family members, and friends in the water compared to their Instructor. It is highly recommended for young children to stay on a "maintenance schedule" to keep their skill set from developing unwanted acts in the water. This could be a weekly, bi-weekly, or even a monthly visit. Work with your Instructor to determine what is best for your child.

FAQs
What About Payments?
The first week's payment is collected during sign ups. Payments thereafter are collected on Fridays. Please note, lessons will not continue until payments are received.
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.
How do the kids react during the first few lessons?
Children often fuss during the first few lessons because they are in a new environment and around new people. As your child becomes more confident in his/her ability in the water, the fussing will decrease. It is not unlike the first time you tried a new exercise class or were asked to perform a task at work that you’d never done before: the first time you try a new task it is always challenging, until you get the hang of it. It is the same for your young child. Your child is learning to perform a skill that he/she’s never done before.
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.

Have Questions?

From new families to families that are familiar with the ISR process, it is encouraged to communicate with your Instructor. This is a team effort where communication and consistency is key.
