Skills designed for your child.

ISR lessons are one-on-one and tailored to your child's age, development and individual readiness.

For babies, lessons focus on teaching them to independently roll onto their back, float, breathe and maintain that position if they enter the water unexpectedly. As children become developmentally ready, they can progress toward the swim-float-swim sequence.

Ages 6 months to 6 years
Approximately 10-minute lessons
Monday through Thursday
Typically 6–8 weeks
Certified ISR instruction

A Lifetime Shaped by Water

Shireen Sapiro

competed at three Paralympic Games, broke world records, and won Paralympic gold for South Africa. After reaching the highest level in the sport, she chose to dedicate her experience in the water to helping children become safer and more confident — teaching life-saving ISR skills to families throughout Broward County.

"I may be there to teach the skills, but I'll never forget the little heart I'm teaching to."
