About ISR

Infant Swimming Resource® (ISR) is the global leader in infant and toddler survival swim instruction. Unlike traditional swim lessons, ISR focuses on self-rescue skills that work in real-world water emergencies.

  • Infants and toddlers who are not yet walking learn the rollback-to-float

  • Walking children learn the swim-float-swim sequence

  • Lessons are customized, one-on-one, and developmentally appropriate

While ISR was initially designed for infants over 50 years ago, the program evolved and works for children up to 6 years old. Students will learn to swim confidently, but more importantly when to float and get air.

  • Self-rescue skills achieved in 6 – 7 weeks

Meet Liz

As a survivor of an infant drowning accident, I know how quickly things can go wrong around water. As a mom of two young boys, I also know how to keep lessons engaging, positive, and fun. It’s my mission to bring ISR infant swim lessons to Reno and the surrounding Tahoe area—so families have access to life-saving swim instruction when it matters most.
