Drowning is preventable! 

Did you know that drowning is the leading cause of accidental death in children under the age of 4 years old?  Drowning knows no season and it does not discriminate.  Drowning is 100% preventable and ISR skills can be the last layer of protection for your child.  ISR skills are the ONLY layer of drowning prevention that can go wherever your child goes.  Beach, lake, river, pond, cruise, friend’s house…no problem for kids skilled in ISR!

What is ISR?

Who is ISR For?

ISR was founded in 1966 with the guiding mission “to prevent drowning and enrich the lives of children by teaching them to swim” and to ensure that Not One More Child Drowns.  Since its creation, ISR has provided over 7 million safe and effective lessons, and over 800 documented survival stories.  This nationally recognized program is the first and only drowning prevention strategy that has earned a 100% safety record.   

Lessons are 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week (Monday through Friday)

It takes an average of 6 weeks for children to master the self-rescue swimming skills. After the initial lesson experience is complete, ISR recommends that every child participates in 1 to 3 weeks of Refresher lessons every 6 months to a year. 

Infants 6 months to 12 months old

Infants 6 months to 12 months old will learn to hold their breath underwater, roll onto their back and float unassisted.

Children 1 year to 6 years old

Children 1 year to 6 years old will learn the following sequence: how to hold their breath underwater, swim with their head down and eyes open, roll onto their back to float, rest, and breathe, and flip back over to resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool. or remove this text inline or in the module Content settings. You can also style every aspect of this content in the module Design settings and even apply custom CSS to this text in the module Advanced settings.

Statistics show that 83% of all children who drown are fully clothed at the time.

Because of this, during the final week of lessons, while under the watchful eye of an instructor, each of our students have the opportunity to practice their self-rescue skills in both their summer and winter clothes.

Mariana is an excellent instructor. She helped my son through his fear of water. I would highly recommend her services to all parents. Pool/water safety is important and Mariana can teach your child what they need to know.”

“La seguridad de mi hijo es sumamente importante para mi, y estás classes son esenciales, especialmente aquí qué hay albercas en todos lados. En una sola temporada tuvo muchísimo avance, les recomiendo muchísimo a Mariana.”

Mariana is a patient and sweet swimming instructor with the best personality. If you are looking for someone who will really connect with your child to provide one-on-one safe swimming lessons, look no further.”

 “We love Mrs. Mariana. In a span of only two weeks, my kiddo went from being terrified of the water to actually looking forward to swimming at Mariana’s house. I simply can’t believe the tremendous progress he’s made in such a short time.
I’m amazed at how well he is doing. He isn’t scared at all and I believe he’ll really have some great skills in place that will have us all feeling safer with him around water. 
Thank you for all you do to help the families in your area!” Michelle S

Mariana is fabulous!!! We are ELATED with our son’s results!! She is a PHENOMENAL instructor and she is excellent with little ones. At the beginning, he would cry everyday, and by the end he ran into her arms. It is not only worth every penny we paid, it is worth so much more. These lessons are priceless.” Dorothy V

“We just had our last day of scheduled lessons with Mariana Fouts and it is so bittersweet I have enjoyed every morning where I get to come to our lessons. I cannot wait to come back next year and continue my sons swimming lessons, I had the most incredible experience with Mariana, she is an amazing instructor so easy to work with and overall just an incredible woman. Watching her with my son brought me so much peace while obviously he didn’t enjoy the lessons he did so well and I could not be more pleased with how he has done thanks to Mariana Fouts!” Gabriella S
