855-Safe Infant Swimming Resource

Welcome to Infant Swimming Resource of Central Florida and 855-SAFE.

Certified ISR instructors provide Central Florida area families with the most comprehensive drowning prevention program available today.

This web site provides basic information about the ISR program and what infants and young children can accomplish through this program.

Lessons are offered early-spring through late-fall. All lessons are conducted one-on-one for a period of 10 minutes daily, Monday-Friday.

What your Child will learn

Floating Baby

ROLLBACK-TO-FLOAT, Babies 6 to 12 months old are very active and are surprisingly quick! The Rollback-to-Float procedure introduces the correct floating posture for survival as well as the skills necessary to maneuver into a float.
Babies learn quickly from their physical environment. This is how they learn to crawl and walk. But water is an unforgiving environment. For this reason, aquatic survival skills for the infant and toddler, must be taught by a certified ISR instructor. These skills will be practiced for complete mastery even while fully clothed with diaper and shoes. All lessons are taught one-on-one for a period of no longer than 10 minutes daily, Monday-Friday. Approximate class length: 3-5 weeks.

Underwater Baby

SWIM-FLOAT-SWIM, The Swim-Float-Swim sequence encompasses the skills necessary for a child to reach the steps, edge of the pool or shore. This includes swimming and floating. This process begins with teaching the child breath
control and the skills to turn around in the water to grab the edge. As the child becomes capable of longer swims the rollback-to-float is taught so the child can rest and breathe, and then continue swimming. This sequence can be repeated indefinitely until the child reaches safety. These skills will be practiced for complete mastery even while fully clothed with shoes and diaper for those not toilet trained. All lessons are taught one-on-one for a period of no longer than 10 minutes daily, Monday-Friday. Approximate class length: 5-6 weeks.

REFRESHER LESSONS, Almost every parent asks if their baby or young child will really remember what they have learned. The answer is "yes." Refresher lessons are important, however, because as your children grow their bone
density and proportions of their bodies change significantly. The purpose of Refresher Lessons is to allow the child to practice the already learned skills with his or her new body and new set of emotions. This also provides the ISR instructor an opportunity to observe and correct any "bad habits" that may have been learned. All lessons are taught one-on-one for a period of no longer than 10 minutes daily, Monday-Friday.
