ISR Seal Team Survival Swimming, Inc teaches infants and children survival swimming skills. There is no other program like ISR
ISR Seal Team Survival Swimming is taught by Dr. Kristine McCarren, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified ISR Instructor. Dr. McCarren teaches infants and children how to save themselves in the event they make it to the water unsupservised. Even children as young as 6 months can use this technique should they fall in the water. Babies 6 to 12 months of age learn to hold their breath underwater, turn onto their backs, and float unassisted. Children 1 to 6 years old are taught to expand this into a swim-float swim sequence- learning how to hold their breath underwater, swim with their heads down, roll onto their backs to float, rest, breathe, and roll back over to continue swimming until they reach the side of the pool, can crawl out of the water or be rescued by an adult. Your child will also learn how to master ISR Self-Rescue™ skills, first in a bathing suit, then fully clothed, because most water accidents happen when children are in clothes.
ISR lessons focus on safe, one-on-one training by ISR certified instructors who customize the program to the abilities of each student. ISR is the leading behavioral-based approach to swimming lessons, using techniques that are developmentally appropriate for your child.
Watching your children is not enough to protect them from every hazardous water situation. Teaching children survival swimming skills provides an extra layer of protection. Learning to roll onto their backs and float unassisted is crucial for survival. There are over 800 documented cases of students saving themselves using their ISR Self-Rescue™ skills. ISR has a worldwide network of certified instructors and has delivered more than 7 million safe and effective lessons.
Kristine McCarren, the founder of ISR Seal School Team Survival Swimming is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology,and has worked with children in various settings. With this background, along with her 8-week in water and academic training with ISR, Dr. McCarren will assure that your child learns their survival skills in the safest environment possible. This is not your average high school swimmer or lifeguard teaching lessons. This is an aquatic survival specialist teaching your child to be safe in the water!
