FAQs
Why do you have the children swim in clothes?
Because 86% of children who fall in the water do so fully clothed, we want our students to have
experience with such a situation. If a child has experienced the sensations of being in the water in
clothing prior to an emergency situation, he/she is less likely to experience panic and be able to focus on
the task at hand. If you have ever jumped in the water with clothes on, then you know that there is a
significant difference in weight and feel with clothes as opposed to a bathing suit.
What is the American Academy of Pediatrics position on swimming lessons for young children?
The AAP encourages parents to consider that starting water-survival skills training at an early age must
be individualized, based on the child's frequency of exposure to water, emotional maturity, physical
limitations and health concerns related to swimming pools. You can view their policies and suggestions
through the AAP website here: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/at-
play/Pages/Swim-Lessons.aspx
What other benefits does the ISR lesson experience provide students?
Every child is unique. However, many parents report that once their young children have mastered
learning to swim, the resulting confidence in their abilities engenders a positive self-concept that is often
demonstrated in other aspects of their personalities. There are also obvious health and other
psychological gains.
How do you teach them to hold their breath?
Breath holding skills are taught beginning with the first lesson. We shape breath control using highly
effective positive reinforcement techniques. We continue to reinforce these breath-holding techniques
throughout every lesson.
